FSL Spring Door Hanging Embroidery Project

Gather the materials and read through the instructions before beginning. For FSL I always wind the bobbin with the embroidery thread to give a quality finish.

Hoop the stabilizer and attach the hoop to your machine, If you have a hoop large enough, load all the FSL letters to fit into one hoop and stitch them out. Loosely cut around each letter then following manufacturers instructions for the dissolvable backing, submerge them in water for the recommended time. Allow them to dry overnight for best results. 

From the burlap, cut a strip 15cm wide x 80cm long. From the yellow cotton, cut a strip 12cm wide x 62cm long. For the yellow cotton, around all raw edges turn back 10mm and press. 

Place the FSL letters on the front side of the yellow cotton, ensuring the 10mm seam you pressed on the yellow is to the back, evenly spacing the letters down the strip. Pin in place the stitch around each letter, ensuring you stitch close to the outline of each letter. 

On the burlap, cut one end into a point. Position the yellow strip, which has the FSL letters sewn onto it, on the burlap. The bottom of the yellow strip should sit 10cm up from the tip of the bottom of the burlap. Ensure the 10mm is turned under, then pin the yellow in place and stitch it onto the burlap. 

At the top of the burlap, turn over 1” to the back, pin in place then stitch down. With the piece of ribbon, pin in place on the back then stitch in place. Insert the wooden dowel into the casing, this gives the top of the hanging some stability. 

Add a floral arrangement and your door hanging is complete and will be a nice welcoming for guests to your home.
