• Wind a bobbin with white embroi-
  dery thread. You will use this for the
  final step only.

EMBROIDER

• Place the hoop onto the machine.
  Float a piece of cut-away stabilizer
  below the hoop.


• Embroider the design, pausing after
  stitching the appliqué placement line.


• Remove the hoop from the machine,
  but don’t remove the project from
  the hoop. Place the cotton fabric
  over the placement line, being sure
  to cover the line completely. Secure
  with tape at the edges.


• Re-place the hoop onto the ma-
  chine and embroider the tacking
  stitch.


• Remove the hoop from the
  machine, but don’t remove the
  project from the hoop. Remove the
  tape and carefully trim the appliqué
  fabric as close to the stitching lines
  as possible (A).


• Re-place the hoop onto the ma-
  chine. Continue embroidering the
  design, pausing when two steps
  remain.


• Remove the hoop from the
  machine, but don’t remove the
  project from the hoop. Turn the

hoop to the back and trim the

floated cut-away stabilizer as close

to the stitching as possible.

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


• Remove the hoop from the
  machine, but don’t remove the
  project from the hoop. Turn the
  hoop to the back. Fold the ribbon
  in half and place at the top of the
  ornament with about ¾ " of the
  ribbon ends inside the stitching
  line. Secure with tape outside the
  stitching (B).


• Place the remaining felt square over
  the hoop back, ensuring that all
  stitching lines are covered. Secure
  with tape at the edges.


• Change the bobbin to match the
  thread in the machine. 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. Tear
  away the stabilizer from the project
  edges and remove the topper per
  the manufacturer’s instructions.


• Trim the felt 1⁄8" from the outer
  stitching line, being careful not to
  cut the ribbon.
