Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Felt and foam combine with pretty snowflake designs to create these quick and fun to make coasters in the hoop. A great little hostess or Christmas gift.

Step 1:

To make each coaster hoop the tear away stabilizer in your embroidery hoop. Select a 5” square of blue craft foam and either white or baby blue felt. All stitches in the designs are in one color so you can easily do blue embroidery on a white felt square or white embroidery on a blue craft square as you please.

Step 2:

Run color stop (CS) 1 in the same color thread you will do all of the embroidery as a placement line.

Step 3:

Spray a little adhesive on the back of the felt square and position over the placement line.

Step 4:

Run CS 2 to tack down the felt.

Step 5:

Run CS 3 to embroider the snowflake.

Step 6:

Remove the hoop from the machine, do not unhoop, and lay the hoop face down on a flat surface. Spray a little adhesive on the foam and place in on the back of the stabilizer over the original placement lines, align the foam with the felt on the front of the hoop.

Step 7:

Run CS 4 to stitch the outside border.

Step 8:

Trim 1/8” to ¼” around the outside border to cut out your coaster.

Step 9:

Congratulations your first ITH Snowflake Coaster is complete. Make the whole set as a thoughtful gift for your hostess or friends.

For the love of embroidery…
