Cornhole Bags Embroidery Project

Gather the materials and read through the instructions before beginning. Have a copy of the color sequence on hand for reference

If you have embroidery software, you can load the team logo and the cornhole bag design together and save as one file, ensure the stitch sequence has the logo stitch out first. If you don’t have software, you can load each design separately onto your machine.  

From the cotton drill fabric, cut 8 x 6.5” squares from each color. For each color mark the center point on 4 squares.

Hoop the tearaway stabilizer and attach the hoop to the machine. Lay the 6.5” square under the foot ensuring it is centered, pin down to the stabilizer. You could also use spray adhesive to hold it in place. Stitch out the logo design.

Once the logo is complete, lay the backing piece of fabric right side down onto the embroidered panel and stitch out the cornhole bag design. 

Once complete, remove the hoop from the machine and tear away the stabilizer then turn the cornhole bag right side out and push the corners out. Repeat these steps for the other bags. Traditionally you need 4 bags of each color but you can make as many as you like.

Now to fill the bags, it is easiest if you have a funnel. If not, you can easily create one with an A4 sheet of paper. Insert the funnel into the opening of the bag and fill with 1 ½ cups of dried corn and pin the bag closed until you fill all the bags.

You can either close the bag by doing a blind hand-stitch, or I have chosen to pinstitch on the edge. Do this for all the bags.

It’s now time to play cornhole!!!
