Learn to Make Quick and Easy Hand Puppets with an Embroidery Machine
These simple in-the-hoop puppets can be made from any fabric. I like them with fleece and quilters cotton prints. But terry cloth or felt look great too. What would you do with them?
- Make a set for a baby shower?
- Task the kids to create a puppet show?
- Why not make a bath puppet for yourself to serenade in the shower?
It’s none of my business what you make – just have some fun with these new designs. 😁
They are one of the easiest in the hoop projects to make! They are good practice if you’re learning applique because the satin border stitches are thick – to cover up your cutting boo-boos.
You can buy them separately. There’s a Piggy, Bunny, Kitty, and Teddy Bear. Or get the 4-pack and save money.
Watch the Video Tutorial and see how easy these are to make!
