    Step 6:
    Embroidery complete. Remove hoop and cut all jump stitches and loose thread ends. Remove hoop from the mouse pad and cut away excess stabilizer. Using a damp cloth you can remove any chalk residue from the marking of your axis lines.
    ( If the mouse pad is a bit warped/not laying flat, using your iron, press with a cloth overlay at the lowest setting.)
