Continue on to the machine steps for the words and embroidery
accents, following the specific numbered steps for your chosen
design.
Place the back fabric face up on the back of the hoop, making
sure to cover the entire design. Since the back fabric shows the
back of the animal’s head, we chose to use a color that matched
the animal.

Secure the back fabric with tape, and then put hoop back into the
machine. Run the next step, which is the tacking stitch
Using scissors, trim away any excess back fabric on all sides of
the shape.
