Utility Tote
A fun little tote with a frame to keep it open for easy access! Features a simple geometric quilting design to give a trapunto look and let your fabric choice shine.
You will need to buy (we recommend Zakka or Emmaline) or DIY (we used Bonsai Wire) the frame - a hardware list with more information and instructions to DIY the frame are all included in this project.
Full photo instructions are included with this design, this covers how to create the individual blocks as well as outlining how to assemble the bag. A video tutorial is also included further down on this product page.
There is a fair bit of machine sewing required and we recommend you are of an intermediate level.
Designs are provided in 8 different embroidery formats. The formats included are: DST, EXP*, JEF, PEC, PES, VIP, VP3 and XXX.
*BMP and INF files are also provided, these are recommended to be used with the EXP files for Bernina machines.
SVG files are included for cutting machines. Please note the SVG format can be converted to FCM within the Brother Scan n Cut software if required. Embroidery Designs Cutting Files Disclaimer
