Gather all materials needed. Thread, material, Tear-Away stabilizer.
Stitch out color 1.
This is the outline for the template
Remove hoop and tear out template.
Stitch out color 2.
This is the outline for the template for the CD
Remove hoop and tear out template.
Cut 2 pieces of material out of the rectangle, I like to cut it a bit larger.
Cut out the CD cover out of felt, plastic, a piece plastic table cloth cover or
even use an actual CD cover.
Hoop your stabilizer and stitch next color. This is a guide line.
Glue 1 piece of material on top of guide line.
Repeat this color step to stack down material.
Continue and stitch out the design according to the color chart.
Remove the hoop and turn hoop over. Glue the 2nd piece of material to back
of design.
Turn hoop over and attach to the machine. Stitch the next color that will go
around the entire design.
Remove hoop from machine, turn hoop over and apply the CD cover in
place.
If using clear plastic, you will need to tape this securely in place.
If using felt, you may pin it in place, making sure that the pins will NOT be
close to the stitching line.
Turn over and attach hoop back onto the machine and stitch the tack down
line for the CD cover.
The clear is hard to see in the pictures, but you will be able to see later.
Continue with the next color.
Remember, the design is the only actual color change.
The rest of the colors should match your material or be a contrast.
The next color will be a tac down for the CD cover
Then a double line down the end of the cover
Next will be 2 single stitch circles. Remove the hoop at this time and
carefully trim holes in the inside of the circles as shown.
Do not trim close, the satin stitch will cover the rest of the material.
Re-attach the hoop to your machine and stitch the satin stitches around the
circles.
When finished, remove finished CD Holder from the hoop.

Thank you so much for putting the CD holder tutorial together. One question – where was the design – I must have missed it.
[mod note: CD Holder designs are here: CD Holder Designs and I will put this on the tutorial as well...thanks for the reminder. And thanks to Rhonda for such a comprehensive tutorial (altho I was thinking other thoughts when I was saving and uploading 25 pics!

Thanks bunches for the instructions and this set.
Question: When gluing the 2nd piece of fabric on the back of the hoop, is it right side facing the hoop or wrong side? Hope this question makes sense.
Wow, your step by step make it so much easier to understand the progress. Way to go, now I can’t wait to start making my own. I have a life time memebership to Designsbysick and it is the best present I ever (bought myself…lol). Their designs and the wonderful people like you, make my projects so much fun!!! Candy from Iowa
Thank you!
Thank You Rob
What a great idea. I like the idea and I was thinking if this can be done on a cd ,,why not for a cook book. I have my grandmothers cook book dated 1916. I do have it in a plastic container,but i still think it would be much better in one like a cd cover,but much bigger. I am looking into a cd for making lace doilies. I have read what you are suppose to do, but it would be better on a cd where it would stick in my mind, WHAT MIND,,lol,,I am new on this and would love to get one for doilies.Knowing what kind of things i need to make them. Thanks Rob
