Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

This is a quick Valentine fabric envelope tutorial. Stitches up so quickly. Using the Valentine Hearts Font to personalize and adding embellishments will definitely make your Valentine feel special.

Step 1:

Gather all materials and review instructions before beginning. Print out a template of a chosen letter from Valentine Hearts Font designs

Step 2:

Cut two coordinated fabrics 12” x 6”.

Step 3:

Center your fabric and cut a triangle to form envelope flap. Measure down from top 3 ½” and mark using your chalk or fabric erase pen. Then cut at an angle. as shown in the picture, both corners.

Step 4:

You should now have these two pieces that look like this.

Step 5:

Using your letter design template. Place on outside fabric flap and center mark.

Step 6:

Hoop stabilizer and center mark with a cross hair. Spray lightly with temporary adhesive spray.

Step 7:

I found this to be an easy way to “center” onto stabilizer by folding your “envelope” in half lengthwise. Fold point down 2 ½’ . Fingertip press and place folded corner on top of stabilizer bottom left of the crosshair. Unfold. Fingertip press to secure.

Step 8:

Load your letter design into your machine. I used the medium size of this font. Edit your design 180*(degrees) per your machine’s instructions. ( upside down) As you want the design to be right side up on the flap of your envelope.

Step 9:

Attach the hoop to your machine. If needed make any adjustments for centering of your design. Begin the embroidering process.

Step 10:

Embroidering complete. Remove hoop from the machine. Cut and trim all jump stitches and loose thread ends. Remove stabilizer.

Step 11:

Using both fabric pieces. Place right sides together. Pin. Sew both pieces using ¼”seam allowance from outside edges. Leave an opening on one side approx. 1”. Clip corners.

Step 12:

Turn right side out and press.

Step 13:

Bring bottom up 4”. Pin in place. Edge stitch both sides. ( using a scant 1/8” seam allowance) This is will also close the opening.

Step 14:

Attach snap per manufacturer’s instructions. Add button onto the top of snap ( ring). With your glue gun, a drop of glue is enough to secure. Add any additional embellishments of your choice.

Step 15:

Easy right!? Voila! Your fabric envelope is now complete.
