    Preface:
    This is a quick project that can use those out dated ad magnets from realtors and wedding announcements from your refrigerator.  I love to recycle/reuse things that would normally be trash to others in my projects.  The magnet will stick to the front of you stainless steel front covered dish washer.  

    Step 1:
    Hoop fabric and medium weight cut away stabilizer.

    Step 2:
    Embroider the "dirty dishes" design up through step #5 (the stop light outline). For color change #6 (satin stitch boarder) you can chose the color you like the most and stitch that color around the design.

    Step 3:
    Remove the hoop from the machine. Turn the design upside down and tape the magnet with the printed side to the bottom of the hooped design.  Be sure the magnet is facing outward.

    Step 4:
    Return the hoop to the machine and embroider step #7 straight stitch with the same color of the previous satin stitch.  This will tack the magnet to the back with a hidden stitch.
