To make the half-moon bag, print out the templates provided with
your design download. Cut along the dotted lines
GG HH
Take the template and place it on top of the cork fabric. Make
sure that before you trim away the excess, that the embroidery
design is perfectly centered in the middle of the template.
Now that all your bag components are complete, it’s time to start
on the body of your bag.
Tape the templates together as shown.
When the design is stitched, it is already centered perfectly in the
hoop. Adjust the focal point of the embroidery by cutting a panel
2” from the edge and move as needed. Tape the template in
place, then trim.
