    Final Product: What You Will Create

    Preface:
    It really takes less than one hour to stitch this. The designs stitch out so nice.


    Step 1:
    Gather all supplies needed and read through instructions.

    Step 4:
    Decide where you want the designs embroidered. On the back side of the towel, press one layer of the Fuse-N-Tear-Away stabilizer, after it is cool, fuse the second layer.

    Step 5:
    Cut around the templates of the designs.


    Step 6:
    Hoop towel and place template of design 42883 on the towel, find center and mark. Remove template. Lay the water soluble stabilizer on top and run the design.

    Step 7:
    Reposition the towel so you can add the Mini Shamrock design 63587. You may want to only embroider the design once or add as many as you want. I embroidered three under the mugs of beer.

    Step 8:
    Remove hoop from machine, and clip any jump stitches at this time. Remove towel from hoop and remove the water soluble. Remove the tear away backing one layer at a time.


    Step 9:
    Press towel on the wrong side to remove any hoop marks.
