 |
| Step 1 - Sew the first color in the design on the vilene/aqua magic only. | Step 2 - Remove hoop and flip it over. Place fabric sprayed with adhesive on the bottom side of the hoop over the outline centered. Place hoop back on machine. |
 |
 |
| Step 3 - Sew next color in design - this secures the fabric placed under the hoop & stitches the small buttonhole. | Step 4 - Spray thermolam with adhesive spray & place the fabric on top, smooth it down. Center over the outline. |
 |
 |
| Step 5 - The next color in the design secures the fabric and thermolam in the hoop. | Step 6 - Remove hoop & flip over. Trim the fabric close to the outline but do not cut away the vilene. Trim the little opening too! |
 |
 |
| Step 6 continued - Flip hoop over on right side & trim the fabric & thermolam close to the stitches but leave the vilene in place. Trim the fabric & batting in the little opening too! | Step 7 - Place hoop back on machine. The next color is the satin stitched edges and the buttonhole. |
 |
 |
| Step 8 - Stitch rest of design using color order in text file. | Step 9 - When finished, remove hoop, turn upside down. |
 |
 |
| Step 10 - It is easier to trim with hoop flipped over! Trim the design from the stabilizer staying about 1/16" away from the satin stitched edges. | Step 11 - Run a warm rag along the the satin stitched edges to dissolve the remaining wash away stabilizer. |
 |
|
| Step 12 - Cut a slit in the back buttonhole (do not cut into the thermolam) and slide a 4 1/2" long popsicle stick into the opening! The popsicle stick will keep the hanger from sagging with the weight of the towel. Sew a 1/2" button on the wrong side of the hanger about 1/2" from the top and you are finished! | |

the Towel Hangers
For those who are using the smaller handles (5x7 hoops) or for those who have wide stove handles! |

| 1. Cut piece of 1/2" wide elastic 3-4" long & mark the center. | 2. Sew your button onto the elastic at the center mark. |
 |
 |
| 3. Fold the elastic in half so that the button is at the top and sew it to the top of the hanger on the back side. | 4. Here's what it
looks like flipped upside down. The elastic will stretch to fit almost any size oven handle. |
