step by step instructions
To begin, hoop a piece of No-Show mesh stabilizer.
We will be creating the FRONT of the doll first, so load the
appropriate design for your character, for example EMILYFRONT,
and stitch the first step, which will be a placement
stitch.
B
Lay the hair appliqué fabric, being sure to cover the stitches
on all sides. You will need a seam allowance around the
outside edges of the hair, so lay your fabric accordingly.
NOTE: Depending on the design, some hair will be created
with additional appliqués to create the hairstyle. Follow the
numbered steps of your design in the back of the book.
C D
Run the second step, which will be a tacking stitch. Trim away the excess fabric from INSIDE the hair and anywhere
that will be touching additional appliqué pieces.
Continue to run any additional appliqué steps, being careful
when trimming to leave a 1⁄2" seam allowance along the
outside of all appliqués. If your character has glasses, run
the design until you've reached the vinyl appliqué placement
stitches (seen above).
Lay your vinyl over the placement stitches, using tape to
secure in place.
