A quick bread liner ideal to put in baskets or bowls for all those yummy goodies! Cookies, biscuits, rolls.... Use the flaps on the liner to keep them hot longer. A great economical item to give with holiday treats. Some basic sewing skills are needed to finish the liner.
Step 1:
Read the directions before beginning. Gather the materials that are needed for the liner. Lightly starch and iron the fabric.
Step 2:
A template is a printout of the design from an embroidery software program. The template is the actual size of the design which makes a great visual tool. The vertical and horizontal axis on the template provides perfect placement of the embroidery designs. Embrilliance 'Essentials' embroidery software program was used to make the design template. A trial version called Embrilliance Express may be used to print a template if needed.
Print a design template.
Step 3:
Place one 18"x18" piece of fabric right side down on a flat surface. (This piece will be the front of the liner.) Place the SF101 super flex interfacing piece with the rough side down onto the fabric. Follow package directions to bond the SF101 to the fabric.
Step 4:
Place the two 18"x18" pieces of fabric with right sides together. Pin each corner and the center. Find the center point on each side of the fabric. Mark the spot with a fabric pen. Draw a grid with a fabric pen going left to right and top to bottom.
Step 5:
The next step is to cut 6" half circles in the center of each side. A circle ruler works good for the sides. I used a 6" saucer for the half circle. I used tape and made an axis on the saucer.
Step 6:
Center the circle ruler or 1/2 of the saucer in the middle of one side.
Step 7:
Cut out a 1/2 circle for each size of the 18"x18" block.
Step 8:
You will embroider the designs on the 18"x18" piece of fabric with the Pellon SF101 interfacing on the back. Use the design template as a guide for placement. The design was placed 3" from the center line on the template on each side.

Step 9:
I printed 4 design templates and placed them on each corner. You could just print one design template and fix the placement when you re-hoop.
Step 10:
Hoop 1 piece of No Show poly mesh stabilizer.
Float one 18"x18" piece of fabric with the SF101 on the back over the stabilizer. Match the center points on the fabric and the stabilizer. Use a light mist of 505 Temporary Adhesive spray on the stabilizer. Press the liner onto the stabilizer. Pin the liner to the stabilizer.
Step 11:
Attach the hoop to the machine. Check your needle and bobbin area. Load the design template on your machine. Make sure that the design on the machine is turned in the same direction as the design template on your hoop.
Embroider the design.
Step 12:
Remove the hoop from the machine. Remove the liner from the hoop. Trim away excess stabilizer leaving about a 1/2" margin.
Repeat Steps 11 & 12 for each corner of the liner.
Step 13:
Place the two 18"x18" pieces of fabric right sides together. Pin in place.
Step 14:
Sew a 1/4" seam around the liner leaving an opening on one straight side for turning.
Step 15:
Clip along the round sides only with small scissors. Be careful not to cut the stitches. These snips will help the liner to lay more smoothly in the curved area.
Step 16:
Turn the liner right sides out. Press the liner with an iron.
Step 17:
Fold the edges of the opening inward. Pin to hold in place.
