PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
STEP D
Next, place your wooden hoop over the design.
Be sure to center the design in the wooden
hoop. Mark along the outside of the hoop.
This will show you where to
measure from when trimming.
STEP E
Using a nested circles ruler, place a pin in the
center point and identify the pencil line just
drawn, adding one inch for a seam allowance.
Draw a line along the added inch
measurement (our hoop is 4" from the
center, so we marked 5" out all around).
TIP
STEP F
Using your scissors, trim along
the outside mark.

If you do not have a circular
ruler, no worries. Once you
trace around your wooden
embroidery hoop, trim giving
yourself a 1/2 seam allowance.
