    Preface:
    A fun, easy project great for beginners.  A great baby gift idea.  Perfect to celebrate Baby's First Thanksgiving!

    Step 1:
    Read through the instructions before beginning.  Gather the materials for the project.

    Step 2:
    Hoop the cutaway stabilizer.  A permanent stabilizer was used because the fabric of the bib was stretchy.  Mark the center point on the stabilizer.

    Step 3:
    Place the baby bib on a flat surface with the right side facing you.  Fold the bib in half.

    Use the design template as a tool for positioning and placement of the design on the bib.  Mark the center point on the bib using an air erase marker pen.

    Step 4:
    Align the center point on the stabilizer with the center point on the folded bib.

    Lightly mist the visible stabilizer with 505 Temporary Adhesive Spray.
    Unfold the bib and gently press onto the stabilizer.  The surface should be smooth and wrinkle-free.  Repeat for the other side of the bib.

    Step 5:

    Step 7:
    Remove the bib from the hoop.  Trim the cutaway stabilizer to about ½” around the design.  Trim threads on the back of the bib if needed.

    Step 8:
    Gently tear away the water-soluble topping.  The white tip on the seam-fix seam ripper works very well for removing any remaining pieces of the topping.

    Step 9:
    Cut a piece of Baby Soft Iron On slightly larger than the design and stabilizer on the back of the baby bib.  Follow the instructions on the Baby Soft package to iron it on the back of the baby bib.
