    Final Product: What You Will Create
    Preface:
    Rrribbbitt!  Hear the sounds of frogs croaking in the springtime OR in the tub with this fun bath puppet.

    Step 2:
    Pin the body of the frog puppet onto the fabric.  If using a washcloth, you can skip hemming by using the bottom edge of the washcloth.  

    Step 3:
    Cut out the body of the Frog Bath puppet.

    Step 4:
    Place one piece of the body fabric on a flat surface with the right fabric side facing you.  Use the design template to help with finding the placement of the face on the body.  

    Step 5:
    Hoop one piece of lightweight (2.0) cut-away stabilizer.

    Step 6:
    Float the fabric on the stabilizer.  Use the center and axis points on the design template and hoop to center the fabric/design.  Use a light mist of temporary adhesive spray to hold the fabric in place on the stabilizer.   Place one piece of water soluble topping over the fabric in the hoop.

    Step 7:
    Load the design onto the machine.  Stitch the design.  Gently remove the water soluble topping from the stitching using a soft eraser tip or the white tip on a Seam-Fix.

    Step 8:
    Trim the cut-away stabilizer from around the stitched design leaving about a 1/2" margin.

    Step 9:
    Layer two pieces of flannel for a frog leg together with right sides facing each other.  Lay a piece of the Bosal foam or low nap quilt batting on top.  Pin the fabric in place.  Stitch a 1/4" seam around the outer edges of the leg leaving the bottom open for turning.  Stitch a zigzag or serge around the edge of each leg.  Turn the legs.  
     

    Step 10:
    Measure 3" from the hemmed bottom edge (measure 3.5" if not using the hem from a washcloth).  Pin the leg in place on each side.

    Step 11:
    Place the second piece of terry cloth on the frog with right sides facing each other.  Pin the pieces together.

    Step 12:
    Stitch a 1/4" seam around the outer edge of the frog.  Use a zig-zag stitch or a serger around the edge again.  Turn the frog right side out.

    Step 13:
    Good job!  Hope you enjoyed making the Frog Bath puppet.  Check out all the other cool animal faces in the collection!
