STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP A
To start, hoop a piece of No Show Mesh stabilizer; to
fit hoop. Run the first machine step of the design–this
will be the placement stitch.
STEP B
Lay your piece of base fabric right side up over the
placement stitch, being sure to leave at least 1⁄2"
seam allowance on all sides.
STEP C
The machine will continue on to the tacking stitch.
This will secure the fabric to the stabilizer.

We used fusible interfacing, which
helps stabilize the fabric, so there is
less potential for pulling. We used
Pellon Shape-Flex to strengthen the
base fabric of each ornament.
