Personalize your favorite shoes!

You will need

• Toolbox software
• BERNINA embroidery machine
• Self-adhesive stabiliser
• Embroidery thread in your chosen colors
• Textile marker

Create your monogram

• Create your monogram with the required decoration with the BERNINA Toolbox software. 
• Just follow our step-by-step tutorial, which you can find here.

• To check what the monogram will look like on the shoe and whether it is the right size, print out the design and pin the printout onto the shoe.
• If necessary, make any further changes you require. 

• Transfer the center lines onto the tongue with a textile marker.
• Save the finished design onto a USB Stick and open it on the BERNINA embroidery machine.

Embroider your monogram

• Fasten the self-adhesive embroidery stabilizer into the embroidery hoop.  Remove the protective film and stick the tongue of the shoe onto the stabilizer.

• Attach the embroidery hoop to the machine. To keep the tongue flat, place the embroidery machine as close as possible to the edge of the table and hang the shoe over the edge.
• Check the position of the pattern using the check function on the embroidery machine and correct if necessary.

• Activate the basting function to attach the tongue more firmly to the embroidery stabilizer.

• Start the embroidery process and embroider a line of basting stitch around the pattern.
• We recommend that you reduce the embroidery speed and monitor the embroidery process.

• Embroider the monogram, holding the shoe so that the tongue does not come loose from the stabilizer and the shoe does not get caught.

• Complete the embroidery and then embroider the monogram onto the second shoe in the same way.
• Congrats, you finished your new and personalized sneakers!
