Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

The first thing to do is print the dieline file. Locate the file with the –a at the end of the file name and print it with your embroidery software and a printer. Print 2 each of the –a files, you will use it them as the front and back applique pieces. If you do not have embroidery software, a great program to use is Wilcom TrueSizer which is a free download online.

Step 1:

Cut the dieline paper down close to the template of each of the papers. Use a light temporary spray adhesive and spray on the back of your paper templates. Place each paper template onto your applique fabric pieces. Cut the applique fabric and paper along the template dieline for each of the applique pieces. Remove the paper template. Set the applique pieces aside.

Step 2:

Cut a piece of Ultra Solvy that is a little larger than your hoop.

Step 3:

Hoop Solvy, making sure that it is hooped very tightly.

Step 4:

Place hoop onto your machine and embroider the lace thong design of your choice.

Step 5:

Once the design is done embroidering. Remove from the machine and gently remove the excess solvy from around the outside of the design.

Step 6:

Then add hot/warm water to your container. The water should be high enough in the bowl so that the entire lace thong will be submerged.

Step 7:

Place your lace design inside the container. Let the design soak for about 10 – 15 minutes. This will remove the solvy from the design.

Step 8:

Remove the design from the water and blot dry with the paper towel. Let it dry.

Step 9:

In the meantime hoop 2 pieces of tearaway stabilizer. Place the hoop on the machine and embroider the first color stop which is the first dieline. Go to the next step.

Step 10:

Lightly spray the back of one of the applique fabric pieces with the adhesive.

Step 11:

Place the applique inside the dieline. Start the machine again and embroider thru color stop 6 which is the next dieline, then stop the machine.

Step 12:

Place the top line of the FSL Thong applique piece on the coaster lined up with the line. Line up the sides with the dieline marks on each side of the coaster as well. Use a piece of tape to secure the top and each side of the thong to the coaster and backing.

Step 13:

Embroider the next 2 color stops which are the tackdown and the back dielines. Gently remove the tape.

Step 14:

This dieline is for the back applique piece. Remove hoop from machine and flip the hoop over to the back side. (Do not remove design from hoop.) Lightly Spray the back applique with adhesive and place inside the dielines.

Step 15:

Gently rehoop and it will tackdown the backside to the front. Continue sewing until the final color stop.

Step 16:

Remove the design from the hoop then gently tearaway the stabilizer from your new Flip Flop Wine Coaster.

Step 17:
