Final Product: What You Will Create

Step 1:

Read through the instructions thoroughly before beginning and assemble all the materials needed to complete the project. Determine the colors for the project. The letters can be done in soft pastels or bright embroidery colors—the choice is yours. I chose to do all the flower colors the same, but did the letters for each word in three different colors: Happy was stitched in soft green, Easter was stitched in yellow, and Blessings was done in pale blue.

Step 2:

For each letter, hoop a piece of clean tear stabilizer. Cut the felt front and back pieces. Load the first letter on the machine.

Step 3:

Place the hoop on the machine and stitch color 1, the placement line for the front felt.

Step 4:

Be sure the felt is centered over the placement line. Stitch color 2, to tack down the felt. Stitch colors 3 and 4—the letter and flower.

Step 5:

Remove the hoop from the machine but do not remove the fabric from the hoop. Flip the hoop over. Center the stiff felt on the back (use spray adhesive or embroidery tape to hold it in place. Place the hoop back on the machine. Stitch the last color.

Step 6:

The last color tacks the layers together, sews the satin stitch, and buttonholes. Carefully tear away the visible stabilizer.

Step 7:

Trim the back stiff felt about 1/8” away from the outer stitching line. Trim the front felt about ¼’ away from the outer stitching.

Step 8:

Use the seam ripper to open the buttonholes. Begin at one end and cut toward the center; turn the piece around and insert the seam ripper at the other end of the buttonhole and cut toward the center.

Step 9:

Stitch all the eggs, trimming each as the next one stitches.

Step 10:

Align the eggs in letter order to form the word. Cut a length of ribbon about 10” longer than needed.

Step 11:

Beginning at one end, use tweezers to insert the end of the buttonhole, pull the ribbon through to the back, and up through the other buttonhole to the front.

Step 12:

Continue weaving the ribbon through the buttonholes until all the eggs for the letter are assembled. Repeat for the other words. Knot the ends of the ribbons.

Step 13:

Affix the decoration to the wall.

Step 14:

Congratulations on creating a new wall décor for your home. This project pairs beautifully with the ITH Mylar Egg Dresden Plate table topper.
