Final Product: What You Will Create

Instructions without Vinyl

Step 1:

Hoop two layers of tearaway stabilizer along with a top layer of felt or any firm fabric. Sew design until you reach the white single stitch frame. This is the tack down stitch. Take the hoop out of the machine - do not unhoop - and trim close and carefully around the design. Trim only the fabric - not the stabilizer.

Step 2:

The tearway stabilizer will hold the napkin ring in place until the design is completed. When finished, just tear the napkin ring away from the stabilizer. Join both ends of the design to form a ring. You can stitch them together or put glue on the ends and fasten them with a couple clips until dry.

Step 3:

I use FABRI-TAC Permanent Adhesive by Beacon Adhesives. This dries within a couple minutes and is pretty secure. Most any hobby or fabric store will carry a good permanent fabric glue.

Hint: Do not use a sticky stabilizer when hooping felt or any fuzzy fabric. It will be very frustrating trying to pull it apart.

Instructions - Covered with Vinyl

Step 1:

Same as above. Sew the design until you reach white single tack down stitch. Take the hoop out of the machine - do not unhoop -trim close and carefully around the design. Trim only the fabric and not the stabilizer. Also trim everything you don't want encased in vinyl. Cut two pieces of the lightweight clear vinyl (the kind used for covering furniture), which can be found at Hobby Lobby or Hancock Fabrics - most anyplace that sells material.

Step 2:

Place one piece under the hoop and secure the edges which tape so it won't shift. Do the same with the top of the hoop. Place the hoop back in the machine and complete the design. The Vinyl napkin ring will simply tear right out. Then roll the napkin ring around an empty spool of thread, put a tiny stream of glue on the end of the ring that you will connect, then fasten with clips until dry. You may also stitch the rings together - only catching the satin tread and not the vinyl.

Step 3:

Hint: If you use a piece of felt or a fuzzy fabric and some fibers are stitching out. Carefully trim as close as you can without cutting the satin stitch then take a dab of glue on your finger tip and smooth back any tiny treads of fuzz you couldn't trim.
