Remove hoop, place the two folded pieces centered inside the outline with the folded edges even with the center placement lines at the top and bottom. |

| 5. Tape the folded pieces onto the stabilizer at the corners and down the middle to keep the folded edges butted right next to each together. | 6. The next color in the design tacks the fabric down, stitches a short satin stitch at each end and then a wide zigzag basting stitch down the middle. |
