Motif & Embroidered Blocks
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
A B
Place your batting over the squaring stitch, making sure to
cover all sides.
C D
Run the next machine step, which will be the tacking stitch to
secure the batting.
Using scissors, trim the batting directly up to the tacking
stitch on all sides of the block.
E F
Once trimmed, your block should look something like this. Place your base fabric face up, covering the batting entirely.
Be sure to leave 1/2” seam allowance on all sides of the
block. NOTE: Because we are using satin base fabric,
we chose to back it with Pellon SF-100 before placing
for stability.
Begin by hooping a piece of No Show Mesh stabilizer to fit
your hoop. Then run the first machine step, which will be the
squaring stitch for batting.
NOTE: We are stitching design ECEB3.
