We'll start by making a list (and checking it twice) of all the materials you'll need to make your DIY appliqué ugly Christmas sweater, including the types of fabric, stabilizer, needles, and more. We’ll also show you the best kinds of “ugly” décor to add to your sweater to make it really stand out! Finally, we’ll tell you why we chose to use the MT-1501 15-needle single-head commercial embroidery machine for this particular project. Next, we go over how to do the appliqué portion of the design, including the importance of tracing your design before you start. Then we discuss the importance of digitizing your appliqué design properly to get the best results on your final project. Once we've finished embroidering our sweater, we'll show you how to trim your "ugly" Christmas sweater with ornaments to kick things up a notch.
