Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Your drawers, closets will smell like a bit of "heaven" with these lovely lavender sachet pillows. Make as many or as few as you like. Great for gifts!

Step 1:

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning.

Step 2:

Load design into your machine.

Step 3:

Hoop water soluble stabilizer. If you are using a lightweight water soluble stabilizer just double it so that it will not tear when embroidering.

Step 4:

Attach hoop to machine. Begin embroidering.

Step 5:

Design complete. Remove hoop from machine. Remove stabilizer. You may have small bits of stabilizer still in the embroidered design. You can remove simply by placing in a bowl of water for a few seconds. Dry with paper towel and press.

Step 6:

I used two different fabric squares to construct the sachets. Use your fabric square of choice. Attach doily to right side of fabric square. Center and stitch a crosshair from top to bottom and side to side using clear filament thread.
