    Final Product: What You Will Create
    Preface:
    A simple easy to follow project tutorial for those machine embroiderers with some experience and beginners in mind. Cork fabric used in this project is an easy stable fabric to sew and embroider on. Most find sewing on this type of fabric works well with regular needles, sewing machine settings, etc. It is wise though before sewing that you check your machine settings using a sample piece of the cork fabric. The fabric is cut into 5.5” squares and then cut to size for the coaster after embroidering is complete. Completion time of each coaster will vary due to embroidery design stitch out time. Please note that the 5" circle pattern is linked for print out.
