Now that we have all of the pieces completed, we are now ready
to assemble the lantern. Attach a sewing foot to your embroidery
machine or switch to a sewing machine.
Set your machine to run a multi-stitch zig-zag stitch, with a 1⁄4”
width. Test on scrap fabric to confirm the width.
You will want to use a matching bobbin throughout the assembly.
Stitching from the outside in towards the apex, repeat Step D for
the remaining pieces, always joining the apex points together.
For the last seam, continue through the apex for a clean finish.
B
Begin with the cap. Lay out all four cap pieces with the apex
points together.
Keep track of the apex points of each piece for proper placement.
Align the first two pieces, focusing on the ends. Secure with tape.
Begin joining the pieces using the multi-stitch zig-zag, backstitching
at the beginning and end of the stitch. Remove the tape as you go.
Pop the cap out, and set it aside.
