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 3:

Remove hoop from the machine and cut around the inside of the design.

Step 4:

Cut through the material leaving the stabilizer intact.

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 7:

Then just continue on with the rest of the design.

Step 8:

Special Directions for the Wine in Glass effect.

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).
