Creative Machine Embroidery – July 2019

• Remove the hoop from the ma-
  chine, but don’t remove the project
  from the hoop.


• Position the bat right side down
  inside the circle with about ½ " of
  the lower tab outside the circle
  stitching (A). Fold the wings so that
  all of the bat except for the tab is
  inside the circle and secure well
  with tape (B).


• Fold the ribbon in half, aligning the
  raw edges. Place the ribbon over
  the bat, aligning the raw edges with
  the end of the tab. Secure with tape
  (C).


• Position the remaining minky
  square right side down over the
  project, making sure that all the
  stitches are covered and the nap
  is going in the desired direction.
  Secure with tape.


• Re-place the hoop onto the
  machine and embroider the final
  step to stitch the final outline.


• Remove the hoop from the
  machine and the project from the
  hoop. Remove all tape and carefully
  tear away the stabilizer from the
  design. Trim ¼ " around the circle,
  leaving extra seam allowance at the
  opening (D).


• Turn the pompom right side out.
  Stuff the pompom with fiberfill,
  then tuck the excess seam
  allowance inside. Using a hand-
  sewing needle, whipstitch the
  opening closed.


• Attach the key ring and swivel hook
  to the ribbon.
