    Hoop stabilizer and stitch out design.

    Remove from hoop and cut off excess stabilizer.

    Step 3:
              Place piece on to the plastic canvas. Position other piece of plastic canvas on top and clip together with clothes pins. Let dry.

    Step 4:
    Remove from plastic canvas; you now have a nice piece. Using this method, you will not have to block back into shape. (I use this method to reshape washed pieces too. You can do this by dissolving those extra pieces of stabilizer in some water, dip you cleaned lace into it and then lay flat in the plastic canvas and let dry. Perfect for cleaning FSL Christmas Ornaments)

    Step 5:
    With a sharp sewing needle and matching embroidery thread. Hold tips together and whip stitch sides together as shown in picture. There will be a small hole for the center when completed. I have used a large needle and large dark thread for demonstration purposes only.
