Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

BRRRRRR! It's cold out here! Be ready for those brisk winter days with fleece ear warmers! A fun project that will keep your ears toasty all winter!

Step 1:

Gather the materials. Read through the instructions before beginning.

The embroidery design was reduced in size slightly so that it would fit on the ear warmer. Embrilliance Essentials software was used to change the size. You may not need to change the size of the design depending on the width of your ear warmers.

Print the Design Template & Color Chart.

Step 2:

Hoop 1 piece of cut away stabilizer. Mark the center point and axis lines on the stabilizer.

Step 3:

The paper design template is the actual size of the stitch out. Use the template as a guide for placement and positioning of the design on the ear warmer. Use an air erasable fabric marker to mark the center point and axis on the ear warmer.

Step 4:

Match the center point on the ear warmer with the center point on the stabilizer. Spray a very light mist of temporary adhesive spray on the stabilizer. Press the ear warmer in place on the stabilizer.

Step 5:

Cover the stitching field with a piece of water-soluble topping. Pin the topping to the ear warmer to keep it in place during stitching.

Step 6:

Load the embroidery design on your machine. Stitch the design. Use the color guide on the machine and printed chart as a guide.

Step 7:

Remove the ear warmer from the hoop. Gently tear away the excess water-soluble topping. Clip any long threads from the surface if needed.

Step 8:

Trim the excess cut-away stabilizer from around the design leaving about
a ½” or less margin. Trim any long threads from the back if needed.

Step 9:

You have finished the 'Fleece Ear Warmer' project! WTG! Great job!

Step 10:

A great gift idea for all your family!
