Final Product: What You Will Create

Step 1:

Hoop one piece of tear away backing in your hoop. Then sew the 1st color stop which is the dieline. (You can use this as a template to both cut the front and back appliqué pieces.)

Step 2:

After the dieline has sewn, stop the machine. The back appliqué piece will go on next. Place the back appliqué piece face down and spray adhesive around the edges of the appliqué fabric except for the bottom opening where your hand will go.

Place the back appliqué piece face up within the dieline.

Step 3:

Start the machine again and embroider the design until the next appliqué placement stop.

Step 4:

Remove the hoop from your machine and the design from the hoop. Carefully tear away the backing from the design and set the design aside until later.

Step 5:

Hoop one piece of tear away backing in your hoop. Then sew the next color stop which is the front dieline.

Step 6:

After the dieline has sewn, stop the machine. The front appliqué piece will go on next. Place the front appliqué piece face down and spray adhesive around the edges of the appliqué fabric except for the bottom opening where your hand will go.

Place the front appliqué piece face up within the dieline.

Step 7:

Start the machine again and embroider the design until the next appliqué placement stop.

Step 8:

Remove the hoop from your machine. Do not unhoop the design.

Turn the hoop over so you are looking at the back of the design. You will now place the back appliqué piece on the back of the design in the hoop. First turn the back appliqué piece face down & spray adhesive around the edges except for the bottom which will be the opening for your hand.

Step 9:

Place the bottom appliqué piece on the back of the design making sure that the appliqué piece is secure and will not fall off when you return the hoop to the machine.

Step 10:

Embroider the last color stop and remove the design from the hoop.

Step 11:

Carefully remove the tear away backing from the puppet.

Finished Hand Puppet.
