Final Product: What You Will Create

Step 1:

For the Bunny Easter Egg Cozie (EGCA01) hoop tear away stabilizer in a 5” x 7” hoop. With white thread run the outline.

Step 2:

Place an 8” x 5” rectangle of felt over the outline and tape the top and bottom edges.

Step 3:

Following the color chart stitch the bunny face and outline through color change number 5.

Step 4:

Remove the hoop from the machine and tape an 8”x 5” rectangle of felt over the back of the embroidery.

Step 5:

Return the hoop to the machine and stitch the last color sequence which is to join the two sections of the bunny together.

Step 6:

Trim all the way around the bunny with small scissors about 1/8” from the stitching.

Step 7:

Stuff just a small amount of polyester stuffing in the top of the head just to give it a little roundness. Do not fill the whole head with stuffing. It won’t fit on the egg if you do.

Step 8:

Place a plastic or real hard-boiled egg in an egg cup and place the egg cozy over the top.

Step 9:

For the Chick Easter Egg Cozie (EGCZ02) load a bobbin with yellow thread and use this bobbin throughout the embroidery.

Step 10:

Hoop tear away stabilizer and stitch the outline with yellow thread.

Step 11:

Tape an 8”x 5” rectangle of yellow felt over the outline.

Step 12:

Following the color chart embroider the chick through color change number 6.

Step 13:

Remove the hoop from the machine and tape an 8’x 5” rectangle of felt over the back of the hoop.

Step 14:

Return the hoop to the machine and stitch the final color sequence.

Step 15:

Trim the chick edges 1/8” around from the stitches.

Step 16:

Stuff just a small amount of polyester stuffing in the top of the head just to give it a little roundness. Do not fill the whole head with stuffing. It won’t fit on the egg if you do.

Step 17:

Place a plastic or real hard-boiled egg in an egg cup and place the chicken on top.

Step 18:

To give your bunny and chick a little personality, search your stash or local hobby store for miniature bows and baskets.

Step 19:

Glue a white pom-pom on the back bottom of the bunny for a tail. Bend one of his ears forward.

Step 20:

Glue ribbons, rosettes and other findings such as the basket to make each cozy unique.
