Did you see those cute button tabs Anne Hein made? These are all created in the hoop of your embroidery machine! Even the buttonholes! Anne used her Artistic Digitizer software to create the flower with the shapes and array tools. Then added the inside colors with a layered gradient fill. The buttonholes are part of the Properties/Fill options. Be as creative as you like as you stitch these out!

This is a four-color design. But you can combine colors 2 and 3 like Anne did.
You can copy/paster them on the edit screen of your machine and use the Color Combination tool to merge the color stops.

Bobbin filled with rainbow variegated embroidery thread
Medium weight, tearaway stabilizer
