ITH House-Shaped Mug Rug Embroidery Project

 

Hoop stabilizer and place hoop on machine, stitch first CC (this will stitch a placement stitch).

Place fabric over top of stitching making sure the area is covered by the fabric. Then stitch CC #2. This will tack down the fabric & hold in place.

 

CC 3 starts the design, follow the CC's for the designs then return to the pictorial to finish putting your tag together.

After stitching design place your backing fabric under hoop with right side facing down. You can also remove hoop and spray back with temp spray and secure fabric to back that way if you wish. If you decide to do so please Do not spray in the same room with your machine and threads go outside to do this. Stitch next CC (this will be the 4th from last CC).

Next remove hoop and take your piece of vinyl and fold it over to make 4” on all sides, then line up the vinyl so the folded side is facing the tapered end of the tag. Match the edge of the vinyl to where the stitching starts the tapper, put a small piece of tape on each side to hold it in place.

Next cut a piece of fabric 4 x 4 and fold in half so it is 2 x 4 and place it above the vinyl matching the folded edges of both pieces (this is optional for a covered back). Tape in place.

Place hoop back on machine and stitch next CC (3rd from the bottom). Remove hoop and trim all fabric as close to stitching as possible with out cutting thread on front and back.

 

Return hoop to machine and stitch next CC (2nd from last) this is the satin stitch and the stitch last CC which is the button hole at top. Remove from hoop and your finished.

You have added the top so that you cut your 3 x 5 card so it fits up into the top area, by doing this the card will not come out. Check pictures below.
