Materials
  • Dish cloths or I cut up bar mop towels and finished the edges.
  • Net, not Tulle, but the stiffer rougher net. Use in colors of your choice.
  • Matching embroidery thread
  • Tear-away stabilizer
  • Clear wash-away stabilizer for putting on top of the towel so the fibers of the fabric don’t show through.

    • Designs used in this project

    Final Product: What You Will Create
     

    Step 1:
    Hoop a nice tear-away stabilizer. I prefer using a child’s washable glue stick to adhere the dishcloth in half.

    Step 2:
    Which is the outline stitch and should be a color to match net.

    Step 5:
    Return hoop to machine. Lay 8 to 12 layers of net on top of design. This will give you a nice sturdy scrubbing surface. I have used 10 layers in the picture above.

    Step 6:
    Which is the tack down for the net. Remove hoop from machine and trip around the outside of the design as shown in picture below. Now apply a layer of clear water soluble stabilizer on top of design area.

    Step 9:
    Then lay down your net as follows: lay down 2 layers of white net, then take 2 layers of purple net and fold in half and lay it on top of the white net, then take 2 more layers of white net and lay over the entire design.

    Step 10:
    Then stitch the rest of the design. The pig was done with 1 layer of red in between the layers of white. (I didn’t have pink net).
