Please note that I do not work according to certain brands of thread - hence you will not find color
codes or brand names here - rather a description.
Machine stop colors are only there to make the machine stop to enable you to perform certain
tasks. You can thread any color suitable.
Possibilities for colors are endless for these hearts so there is no color chart as such, however here
are the colors I used while testing a 5x7 and a 4x4 heart so you have an idea about the number of
color changes and the stitch counts.
4x4
99.10x97.00 mm; 3,698 stitches
21 thread changes; 7 colors

created placement line hold and stitch down with color 5. Remove hoop from machine and
trim away excess fabric leaving a small seam allowance to all edges.
Stitch color 6 place a piece of fabric a little bigger than the just created placement line and
place on top hold and stitch in place with color 7. Remove hoop from machine an trim
away excess fabric all around leaving a 1 cm / 0.4 in seam allowance to all outer edges, a
smaller one of about 0,5 cm / 0.4 in to inner edges but cut as close as you can to the edges
Repeat until 2 more pieces of fabric are placed ( stitching colors 8 up to 11)

you and 1 longer edge just covering the placement line and with a small seam allowance to
each side:
Stitch color 13 fold fabric over and finger press. Repeat procedure with opposite side.
st
Remove hoop from machine and trim away the fabric behind the placed pieces to avoid bulk.
Stitch all decorative detail and the initial have a flat article ready or press fabric down with
fingers as the machine stitches to ensure that all fabric lays nice and flat.
Last color is next. Remove hoop from machine and place loop as shown secure with cello
tape. Place the fabric you are using for the backing wrong side facing you into the hoop, hold
Remove work from hoop and trim away excess fabric all around leave a small seam
allowance were you see the gap left by the last color stitched and also be careful around the
area were you placed the loop/ribbon dont cut it too close to the stitching line.
Turn inside out use a seam pusher for curves. Fill with stuffing and close the opening with
5x7
4x4
The 4x4 heart is done in exactly the same way - just that you only will have to pre-cut 1 size
