ABC-YAMI Embroidery File for Embroidery and Sewing

The ABC-YAMI embroidery file is the perfect choice if you want to combine embroidery and sewing. With this file, you can create unique pattern pieces that are fully embroidered with letters and concentric circles, which are then sewn together using a sewing machine. Simple, clear, and also suitable for beginners.

Making pouches easy to embroider and sew

Here's how it's done: First, your pattern piece is fully embroidered within the embroidery hoop. This technique creates a distinctive look and makes every pouch a true one-of-a-kind. After cutting it out, the piece is sewn together using a sewing machine – add a zipper and lining, and your bag is finished.

The motifs are designed for bag fabrics, making them perfect for

• Cotton poplin
• Patchwork fabrics
• Canvas
• Denim (looks extremely great!)
• Faux leather
• Hemp fabrics
• Ripstop and similar

Tip: The holographic faux leather from the sewing video is available here.^*

About the included embroidery motifs

Your new ABC-YAMI embroidery file is the perfect project if you love embroidery and sewing. The pattern piece is fully embroidered with the alphabet motifs, then cut out and subsequently transformed into a stunningly beautiful pouch using a classic sewing machine. The result: A very personal, one-of-a-kind item to give as a gift or keep for yourself.

Choose the embroidery file that fits your embroidery machine. Stabilize your woven fabric with a suitable stabilizer, e.g., embroidery fleece or Vlieseline H250. Select one of the 4 embroidery motifs. Embroider the motif onto your outer fabric. You can also reduce the embroidery speed slightly.

The embroidery file contains two motif variants: The letter motif is intended for the front of the bag, while you can use the circle motif for the back. But of course, you can also use the quilted circles for both sides.

The motif can be highlighted by using batting and/or embroidery foam. I explain the steps one by one in the instructions.

Embroidery file for many embroidery hoops

The ABC-YAMI embroidery file comes in 2 sizes (L and XL) and fits into numerous common embroidery hoops:

ABC-YAMI embroidery file – simple and special

Your ABC-YAMI embroidery file offers you a thoroughly creative project that is equally suitable for beginners and advanced users. Thanks to detailed instructions and a video, the steps from embroidering to the finished pouch are successful and uncomplicated. The result is an elegant, fully embroidered pouch with an individual look.

Note: Do not open the embroidery file in any software (unless you want to add further files), but copy it onto a USB stick to use it on the machine. With Janome and Wilcom software (Bernina, Hatch, E4), the setting for "as individual stitches grade D" may need to be adjusted; otherwise, the files could be corrupted, as the other setting might completely recalculate the stitches.
