Measure the top piece of fabric 36 1/2" wide x 5 1/2" high, marking the center point. (Do not cut yet.) Draw a straight line from one side of the fabric to the other so that you can easily line up each individual design when embroidering. Make sure there is 2 3/4" of fabric both above and below the line.
