Learn to Make Quick and Easy Hand Puppets with an Embroidery Machine

in the hoop pig hand puppet

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!
