Now, take your back fabric and place it over the design, right side
down. You will be sandwiching the ribbon between the two layers
of base fabrics.
O P
Once complete, remove the design from the hoop as well as any
remaining or excess tear away in the back of the embroidery.
Q R
Remember to cut a small snip or tick mark into the curved corners
to prevent puckering when the design is turned.
Run the last step in the design, which will be the tacking stitch for
the back fabric and ribbon. NOTE: This tacking step will leave an
opening about 21⁄2” along an edge for turning and stuffing, with
the opening location varying in each design.
Use a pair of scissors to trim the design to a 1⁄4” seam allowance,
leaving about 1” at the opening side for hand sewing.
Your design should look something like this once turned right side
out.
