| Finished Easter bucket |
I did my granddaughter's Easter bucket this past week. Since I had so many problems with her Halloween one I was considering doing the smaller design. Then I realized when I opened the design on my machine it showed it in the extra large hoop. So instead of rotating it so I could use just the large hoop I just rotated it 180 degrees so it was upside down.

I hooped a piece of sturdy stabilizer, the kind that has a grid of nylon threads. I then cut a 5 x 7 opening in it and pinned the opened up bucket underneath. That meant the bucket went around the bobbin arm of the machine instead of how it was side to side last time. So much easier to take on and off to do the trimming for the appliqués.

This bucket was also a little easier to pin in place since it was cloth instead of the vinyl. Then I just had to sew it back together.
