Stitch AssistantRECOMMENDED
Get the exact stabilizer, machine settings, needle, and thread color sequence for every embroidery design you purchase — based on that design's stitch density, dimensions, and color count.
Gather and prepare the materials needed for this project. Read the directions carefully before beginning the project. Print a design template. (A paper design template is the actual size of the stitch out. Use the template as a guide for placement and positioning of the design. Embrilliance Essentials embroidery software was used to print the template.)
Step 2:
Use the design template as a placement guide on the napkins. Measure 2" from the side and bottom edge of the napkin. If you are not using a design template, use a fabric marker or sticker to mark the center point and axis on the napkin.
Step 3:
Cut four 3.5"x4.5" pieces of white felt. Cut four 3.5"x4.5" pieces of SF101. Follow product directions to bond the SF101 to the back of each piece of felt.
Step 4:
Hoop one piece of cut away stabilizer. Center the napkin onto the stabilizer. Use a light mist of temporary adhesive spray to secure the napkin to the stabilizer. Add pins or wonder pins to hold the napkin securely in place.
Step 5:
Load the design onto your machine. Attach the hoop to the machine. Check the needle size. Follow the color guide and stops to embroider the bunny. Color 1 and Color 2 are the carrot top. Embroider Color 1 and Color 2. The rabbit is appliqued. Applique Embroidery decoratively stitches one fabric on top of another. Applique embroidery designs include a placement stitch, a tack down stitch, and a finishing stitch for each piece of fabric. These stitches are usually in different colors on the color chart so that the machine will stop after each step. Color 3 is the placement stitch for the rabbit. Embroider Color 3.
Step 6:
Place one of the felt pieces over the placement stitches. Make sure that the fabric covers all of the stitches.
Step 7:
Color 4 is the tackdown stitches. Embroider Color 4.
Step 8:
Remove the hoop from the machine. DO NOT remove the project from the hoop. Use applique scissors to carefully trim the excess fabric from around the stitches. Re-attach the hoop to the machine.
Step 9:
Follow the color guide to finish stitching the design.
Step 10:
After the design has completed stitching, remove the project from the hoop. Carefully trim excess stabilizer from around the design. Trim any long threads if needed.
Step 11:
