Step 3:
Lay one piece of fabric right side up (RSU) making sure the fabric covers all of the placement stitch by at least 1⁄4”. Run the placement stitch again. This will tack the fabric down and allow you to place the ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half, place the fold down toward the bottom of the design, staying 1⁄4” inside the stitch line. Tape the ribbon in place.

Step 5:
Run the second stitch to secure all layers together. Remove project from the hoop, remove tear away stabilizer, trim 1⁄4” outside the stitch lines. Make small clips in the tight corners, up to the stitch line, being careful to not clip into the stitches. This will keep those tight corners from puckering.
