Final Product: What You Will Create

Step 1:

Tautly hoop the stabilizer in the hoop. Take it and the two squares of white Kona® cloth and one square of low loft batting to your machine.

Step 2:

Run color stop (CS) 1 in white as a placement line for the fabric.

Step 3:

Spray adhesive on the back of a white square and position it over the placement lines so that the fabric exceeds the placement line by ½” on all sides.

Step 4:

Follow the color chart to embroider the design stopping before the last to color changes are stitched.

Step 5:

Remove the hoop from the machine, do not unhoop. Lay the hoop face down on a flat surface. Spray adhesive on the batting and place it over the design on the back of the hoop so that the batting exceeds the original placement lines by ½” on all sides. Spray adhesive on the second fabric square and align it over the batting.

Step 6:

Return the hoop to the machine and run the next to last CS in water-soluble thread.

Step 7:

Run the final CS in white to quilt the block.

Step 8:

Lay the ¼” mark of a see-through ruler along the final tack down stitches and trim all sides of the block to a ¼” seam allowance.

Step 9:

Bind using your preferred method. If you do not have a preferred method see our article Binding Small Embroidery Projects.

Step 10:

Sew on a hanging sleeve to hang your sign from an 8” Ackfeld Wire Manufacturing fabric hanger. The fabric for this sleeve was cut at 8” x 3 1/2'”. If you do not know how to make one see our article Attaching a Hanging Sleeve to a Mini Quilt.

Congratulations your Dog Lover’s Mini Wall Hanging is complete!
