    Final Product: What You Will Create

    Preface:
    Hoop your fabric with a good tear-away. Stitch out as you would an appliqué leaving the stabilizer intact. Don't tear-away the stabilizer until you've completed your design.
     


    Step 1:
    Thread a large needle with the ribbon or string. Lay an upper corner of your bunting flat on the piece of rigid Styrofoam. This will keep the corner from curling. Take your large needle and pierce through the center of the small satin square. Twist the needle around a bit to enlarge the hole. Do the same to the other corner.


    Step 2:
    Pull your threaded needle through the bunting from the FRONT TO THE BACK coming through to the back to the front. The way there won't be any ribbon or string hanging in front of your design.


    Step 3:
    You can use the blank to put in a name of message.

    Hi, my name is Marlene Stewart. I was born in Indiana and really have a strange career path of - secretary at a brokerage firm in Chicago. In 1972 I moved to Arkansas and became owner of a TV/VCR sales and repair, then school insurance coordinator, Realtor, bakery owner, arts & crafts, now digitize. I began teaching myself to digitize in 1992 after I purchased my first embroidery software and Brother PE150 embroidery machine since then I have upgraded software and machines. My husband is retired from the U.S. Air Force and I have a 36 year old son. My favorite part of the day is evening when my husband and I cuddle with a blanket and watch science fiction movies. I love digitizing, my husband calls it a love affair and admire the works of Thomas Kinkade.
