This month, we will make Tool Tags using the Die die-cut method. You’ll learn how to use the embroidery design to create the die-cut shapes. This technique is helpful if you don’t have a die or digital cutter. This technique can be applied to most “Trim in the Hoop” designs. The method we’ll use to make the Tool Tags is Freestanding Applique. The Tool Tag has two sizes; the 1 ½” size is perfect for scissors and small tools. The 2 ½” size is great for keeping track of larger items or using it as a luggage tag.
The 2 ½” size is also perfect for a patch – a Tool Tag is just a patch with a back!

Hi I'm PJ
Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock Serger Club, Janome, BabyLock and Brother Machine Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.
I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers or Embroidery Machines.
