Supplies:
- Clear water soluble stabilizer
- Nylon netting or similar fabric
- Cord
- Beads (Large enough hole for cord to go through)
- Clear vinyl found in fabric stores (used for covering upholstery, books,etc.)
Instructions:
Hoop 2 layers of nylon netting on top of clear stabilizer.
Stitch design, stopping before the first border. Take hoop out of machine and attach two pieces of 4×4 clear vinyl with tape. One is secured under the hoop
and the other on top of the design as shown here:
Place the hoop back in the machine and stitch the first single border, this will attach the vinyl to the design. Take the hoop out of the machine and trim
off the vinyl on top and on the bottom along with the nylon netting as close to the border as possible. Do not cut the stabilizer – this will hold the design
to the hoop and remain as part of the design.
Place the hoop back into the machine and complete the design. Punch out the design carefully using your fingertip to hold the satin stitch while pulling up
from the bottom as shown here:
Poke the hole in the top of the design with tweezers or a large sharp needle. Run the cord through the hole and pull the cord through the bead as shown here:
Hint: I used a different colors for the single tack down, zigzag and satin stitch for your convenience so that you can see when to trim around the design.
You can use the same color as the final satin stitch for all three of these.
In other words don’t wash the stabilizer out at all, is that right?
Thanks
