Floriani Temp Lite

Floriani Temp Lite:

This sheer fabric like template will help you hoop more confidently and gives an absolute guide for aligning your embroidery!

To use Floriani Temp Lite:

1. Load one sheet of Temp-Lite in your ink jet printer's paper tray. It may be necessary to set your printer to "decorative or specialty paper".
2. Print the design template from your embroidery software. *Note - Most embroidery software settings can be adjusted to include a light print of the actual design, cross hairs running through the center of the design to aid in alignment and a line around the entire perimeter of the design to show the outer most stitching points.
3. Once printed, trim Temp-Lite if desired to the outer perimeter of the printed design. (Most software has the option to print a square around the design to show the outer most stitching points) If the design does not have an obvious up/down you will need to mark it with a pen.
4. Peel back the release paper to expose the sticky surface.
Stick Temp-Lite to the fabric surface in the desired position, re-position if needed. *Note - It is not necessary to use excess pressure to stick the template - just lightly position the template on the surface of the fabric. This will make it much easier to remove or reposition the template.
5. Hoop the item and try to align the cross hairs of the template with the inner hoops centering marks as closely as possible. *Tip - Place a small piece of RNK Stitch Perfection Tape (double side sticky tape) on the underside of the inner hoop - this will hold the frame to the garment while you slide the outer frame into place.
6. Once the item is hooped, place the embroidery frame on the machine - use the machines centering feature to move the hoop so that the needle will drop into the printed center cross-hairs of the template. The design is now perfectly centered!
REMOVE THE TEMPLATE from the hooped garment/item and re-adhere it to the shiny side of the release paper to use again.
