Create your own nautical cushion with a summer feeling!

Step 1: Cut the Soluvlies to size

Cut the Vlieseline Soluvlies to the desired dimensions of your motif. It is important that there is a sufficiently large piece of Soluvlies behind each beach house. This water-soluble stabilizer stabilizes the fabric during the embroidery process and ensures a beautiful embroidery pattern. Make sure to cut the edges cleanly so that hooping is easier later on.

Step 2: Download embroidery files

Now download the embroidery files you need. You can either transfer them directly to the embroidery app on your smartphone or to your embroidery machine. If you are working with embroidery files for the first time, don't worry: most providers provide detailed instructions on how to download and install them.

Step 3: Hooping

Hoop the cushion cover together with the solufleece in the embroidery hoop . Place the solufleece under the fabric so that the stabilizer stabilizes all areas to be embroidered. Make sure that the fabric is stretched evenly and firmly to achieve the best embroidery result.

Step 4: Embroidery

Now you can get really creative: Embroider the beach houses one by one onto the cushion cover. Concentrate on each house individually and take all the time you need. With each stitch, your project gets closer to the finished work of art - so enjoy the process!

Step 5: Wash out the solufleece

After embroidering, it's time for the finish: simply wash out the solufleece with water. It will dissolve completely and all that remains is your clean embroidery result. You can easily wash it out over the sink - soon your cushion will be shining in all its glory.
