FSL Fall Leaves for Pumpkin Embellishment Embroidery Project

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning. Print out paper design templates if needed for thread color review

Load the Oak Leaf design into your machine. Edit (per your machines instructions) to duplicate so that
you can stitch out two at the same time. If you prefer you can stitch one at a time for multiples. 

Hoop two layers of water soluble stabilizer. Make sure your bobbin thread is the same color as your top primary thread color. Attach hoop to machine. Begin the embroidering process. Each design takes approximately 5 -8 minutes for stitch out based on 700 stitches per minute(spm) . Increase your SPM and time will be less. Repeat this step for the additional leaves. Make as many or as few leaves as desired. 

Wrap a cut piece floral wire around pencil to create a curled stem. Make the stem as long or short as you like. Attach curled wire stem to base of pumpkin stem using your hot glue gun. Next add your leaves. Apply glue to back of leaves. Position and fingertip press down to secure.  There is no right or wrong way for placement of the leaves just use your creativity. Allow time for glue to dry. 

Great job! Your first embellished pumpkin is finished! Now on to the 2nd one!
