Embroidery eyelets made easy: The Eyelet-Stars by SewSimple

Ready for a creative adventure with your embroidery machine? The Eyelet-Stars by SewSimple take your embroidery projects to the next level! These embroidery files are perfectly suited for stylishly embroidering over eyelets, repairing holes, or creating unique decorations for your sewing projects. Whether you are using stretch or non-stretch fabrics – these versatile designs have got you covered.

10 eyelet designs in 2 sizes

Our embroidery series offers you 10 beautiful designs in two practical sizes with hole diameters of 8 mm and 14 mm. This means you have the perfect eyelet on hand for every project! Especially great: Designs 5-10 can be underlaid with shimmering embroidery foil to create a sparkling effect. Make sure to iron the foil onto Vliesofix before embroidering so it can be securely ironed on after the embroidery is finished.

Perfect for creative embroidery projects

The Eyelet-Stars are true all-rounders! You can use them not only as classic eyelet borders, but also for:

• Repairs: e.g., to cover holes in clothing
• cool iron-on patches
• Decorative elements on bags, shirts, and accessories
• Treat bags (see sewing examples)
• stylish keychains and bag charms made from faux leather or felt

Material recommendations for perfect results

To ensure your embroidered eyelets turn out optimally, we recommend the following materials:

• Fabrics: Woven fabric, sweatshirt fabric, embroidery felt, canvas, faux leather, or similar materials
• Stabilizer: Water-soluble stabilizer (e.g., Avalon Ultra, Soluvlies) and/or self-adhesive stabilizer
• Additional stabilization: Vlieseline H250 for the back
• Spray adhesive: For non-self-adhesive stabilizers
• Embroidery needles: Universal embroidery needle or Super-Universal needle in 75/80 size
• Thread: 40-weight embroidery thread

How to embroider the Eyelet-Stars correctly

To ensure your embroidery is flawless, follow these simple steps:

1. Hoop the stabilizer and fabric taut as a drum.
2. Start the embroidery file and stitch color by color.
3. If using embroidery foil or fabric appliqués, iron them on beforehand with Vliesofix.
4. Reduce the thread tension slightly so that the thread lies more smoothly.
5. Reduce the embroidery speed for more precise results.

You can find the detailed embroidery sequence in the PDF color charts included in the download. This makes embroidering eyelets child's play!

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), the setting for "as individual stitches degree D" might need to be selected; otherwise, the files could be corrupted because the other setting might recalculate the stitches completely.
