will have a step to stop and
use a seam ripper to slice the
top stitches of certain elements,

FRINGE
F EMBROIDERY
In this variation of fringe
embroidery, the special satin
stitches will get their bobbin thread
sliced on the back of the design,
letting loops of thread come up in
the front to create the fringe!
If your project requires any kind
of zipper to be put in, usually with
zipper bag designs, then we’ll
highlight this technique to let you
know ahead of time.

Cutwork designs will feature a
special marking stitch, indicating
where to cut the fabric. Once
stitched, the remaining stabilizer
is removed from the “windows,”
creating the cutwork effect.

We all love a good bag design, and
