You will need a 12" x 12" piece of light blue cotton, a 12" x 12"
piece of dark blue cotton fabric, Vilene stabilizer, 60-weight white cotton
embroidery threads and silver bias tape. The finished size of the panel
is about 16" x 16".
Step One: Place your fabric squares face to face. Align all
sides. Draw a diagonal. Machine-stitch along the line and then cut away
the excess fabric, leaving 1/4". Unfold. Press seam allowance to the darker
side.
Step Two: Hoop the fabric with stabilizer and do the embroidery.
Embroider the sun on the lighter triangle, and the moon on the darker triangle.
If you use metallic threads, do not forget to change your needle.
Step Three: Finish the raw edges of the square. The finished
size of the square should be 10" x 10". You can use a decorative stitch
from your machine to accent the seams.
Step Four: Embroider each design from the Zodiac
Crochet FSL set.
Trim the stabilizer close to the designs, leaving at least 3/4" around
each design. DO NOT dissolve the stabilizer now.
