There are many ways to organize your motifs, which
may sound intimidating. Have no fear! Transferring your
embroidery designs does not have to be difficult, which is
why we made these continuous prints fun and easy when it
comes to aligning your motifs for the perfect pattern! Grab
some stabilizer, a piece of tailor’s chalk, and your ruler. Make
sure to follow our step-by-step photos for visual guidance
on how to properly align your designs. If your handy-dandy
embroidery machine has all the fancy features, you may want
to consider using the projector feature when aligning!

MEET & REPEAT
Decorating for the seasons is always a fun task. However, putting everything away tends to
be a lot of work! Here at Anita, we wanted this DIY to help make holiday decor changes a
breeze. Our Seasonal Repeating Borders collection features spring florals, Fourth of July
festivities, fun for fall, and more. Using Velcro is a great option for this DIY project because of
its versatility. Simply pull your repeating border away from the mantel scarf base and replace it
with the next seasonal style!
AN ALL-SEASON
SENSATION
BAD & BOO-JEE
It’s time to let your imagination run wild with notions! Collect
some boo-tiful fabrics, such as a shimmery purple Lycra, a
midnight black damask, or some fancy batik cottons to really
emphasize the Halloween-theme! Get in the spooky spirit by
choosing a creepy color palette for your new mantel cover.
Aside from the traditional black and orange, try using acidic
green, neon yellow, and different shades of purple for a
mystic and magical Halloween experience! When it’s time to
stitch a different season, just swap the theme of fabrics and
threads to suit your seasonal styles.
