 |
 |
| 1. Hoop Vilene or Aqua Magic to fit your hoop. Stitch the first color on the stabilizer only, no fabric yet. | 2. Place 1 piece of fabric over 1 piece of Eazy Felt and center both over the outline just sewn. |
 |
 |
| 3. Next color in design tacks the fabric and felt down. | 4. Stitch the center design following the color order in the text file. |
 |
 |
| 5. Remove hoop and flip over to back side. Place a second of fabric and Eazy Felt centered over the design on the back of the hoop. Tape in place. | 6. The next color in design tacks the fabric/felt down that is under the hoop. Remove hoop and trim the excess fabric & felt from around the design on BOTH sides of the hoop. Place hoop back on machine. |
 |
 |
| 7. The last color in the design stitches the final satin edge around the key fob design. | 8. Remove hoop and trim the design from the stabilizer. Cut at least 1/16" from the edge to keep from cutting into the satin stitches! |
 |
 |
| 9. Run a warm wet rag along the edge to dissolve the remaining stabilizer. Let dry. | 10. Add the key fob
hardware and you're finished! |
| Adding the
key fob hardware: Slide the design inside the metal piece centered. Then press the design into the little prongs. Cover the metal hardware with a small piece of wood (a wooden paint stir stick works great!) This will keep you from making dents in the metal!) Tap on the wood with a small hammer until the metal is clamped onto the fob. Do not hammer it down too much!! Just until the fob design is secured inside the key fob hardware. Add the key ring afterwards. |
