Materials

4 x 4 hoop

Water soluble stabilizer

Round wooden embroidery hoop for embroidering by hand. (I bought mine from Hobby Lobby for less than $2.00)

1/8" ribbon cut into 18" lengths (10 pieces for hanging the figures)

Ribbon for wrapping around hoop

Glue

Use the same color bobbin as your top thread so you can have the design sewn on both sides.

Final Product: What You Will Create

Step 1:

Hoop 2 layers of a good water-soluble stabilizer like Vilene or Badgemaster. Stitch out the designs. When completed, trim away the some of the stabilizer. Soak the designs in a cup of warm water until you can't see any of the stabilizer. Lay them on a flat surface to dry. Wrap the wooden embroidery hoop with ribbon going around until it's completely covered and glue the end to keep from unraveling. Cut 4 pieces of the same ribbon into 18" lengths, space evenly around the covered hoop and attach one end of each with glue. Gather all 4 ends at the top and tie a knot.

Step 2:

Loop each 18" piece of ribbon through the holes of the designs and attach the ribbon. I used glue and put a dab on the very end of the ribbon, ran it through the hole and attached it to itself.

Step 3:

Take the other end of the ribbon and attach it to the covered hoop. You can do this is varied lengths around the hoop.

Step 4:

The mobile can be hung from the ceiling or an actual mobile hanger can be bought from Toys R Us. Other stores that sell baby toys may also have these.

Meet the Author: Marlene Stewart

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.
