INSTRUCTIONS

SUPPLIES:

After stitching placement stitch, place cotton batting & fabric over top of
stitching.

Remove hoop from machine and trim around stitching being careful no to cut threads. Return hoop to machine.

3 – zig-zag stitch over edges.

NEXT- follow color changes for each design and then refer to rest of directions.

After stitching design there are 3 color changes left.
You will need to remove the hoop and cut the bobbin thread so you can slide your back fabric under hoop, make sure right side is facing down.
Then stitch the 3rd from last color-this will stitch the back to the hoop.
Remove hoop and trim away fabric close to stitching and trim inside the circles like pictured below return hoop to machine and stitch last 2 colors to finish.

After stitching all pages string ribbon thru holes and tie together.
