Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Use a wooden picture frame 10" x 12" your choice of color for this project tutorial with a window image display size of 4.5” x 6.5 . The embroidery design "Farm Fresh Ford" size 6.43" x 4.92 is reduced by 10% to fit into the window image display size of frame . Refer to your embroidery machine’s instruction manual on how to edit and resize. Embroidering on burlap will give a rustic homespun look. Burlap is loosely woven so a stitch filled embroidery design will look best. Embroidery design used for this project has some running stitches. A water soluble stabilizer is place on top for the stitches not to disappear or sink into the burlap’s weave.

Step 1:

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning.

Step 2:

Print a paper template of embroidery design.

Step 3:

Iron press burlap placemat or your cut burlap fabric piece. Find center using your favorite method or fold burlap in half left to right and fold in half top to bottom. Finger or iron press to create a folded crosshair. Center design template on top. Mark axis points.

Step 4:

Load design into your machine. Reduce/decrease size by 10%. Refer to your machine’s instruction manual. Stitch out for this design is approximately 30 minutes @ 900 SPM (stitches per minute) Choose your thread colors or refer to thread color chart of design.

Step 5:

Hoop stabilizer using correct hoop size. Lightly spray temporary adhesive spray on top. Center burlap matching marked axis points to axis markings on your hoop. Finger press to secure. Lay a piece of water soluble stabilizer to cover embroidering area on top of burlap and secure in place using straight pins or tape.

Step 6:

Attach hoop to machine. Confirm center needle placement. Begin the embroidering process.

Step 7:

Embroidering process complete. Detach hoop from machine. Cut and trim all jump stitches and loose thread ends. Remove pins/tape, water soluble stabilizer. Trim stabilizer on back.

Step 8:

Using the glass from your picture frame. Place and center on back. Trim any excess burlap/stabilizer if needed to reduce bulk when taping in place. Fold up bottom first. Tape in place. Tip: flip over to check if design is centered if not, make necessary adjustments. Flip back over and fold down top. Tape in place. Next fold in the two sides and tape in place.

Step 9:

Place into frame. Tape corners to hold in place. Turn over to front and admire your work as your Framed Rustic Fall Art is now complete! Great job!
