The ANKERtasche embroidery file is the perfect choice if you want to combine embroidery and sewing. With this file, you can create very special fully embroidered pattern pieces that are subsequently sewn together with a sewing machine. Simple, clear, and also suitable for beginners.

This embroidery file is suitable for embroidery hoops from 13 x 18 cm.

This embroidery file is also available in 2 sizes for larger embroidery hoops.

Embroidery and sewing pouches made easy

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

The designs are intended for bag fabrics, so they are perfect for

• Cotton poplin
• Patchwork fabrics
• Canvas
• Denim
• Faux leather
• Hemp fabrics
• Ripstop, etc.

Most of the materials we used for the example images come from Snaply. You can also use the separate mandala to embellish clothing, bags, and accessories.

ANKERtasche embroidery file – a true highlight ⚓️

Your ANKERtasche 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 will be safe and uncomplicated. The result is an elegant, fully embroidered pouch with a beautiful look.

Note: Do not open the embroidery file in software (unless you want to add further files), but drag it onto a USB stick to use it on the machine. With Janome and Wilcom software (Bernina, Hatch, E4), you may need to set the setting to "as individual stitches Grade D"; otherwise, the files could be damaged because, with the other setting, the stitches might be completely recalculated.
