Embroidery:

Stabilize 2 pieces of white fabric with cut-away stabilizer. Upload the files from the Floral Christmas Ornament Set into the machine. Hoop the first piece of fabric in a small hoop. Embroider one design so that the bow looks upright.

Hoop the second piece of fabric in a 8" x 12" hoop, if you have one. Upload the remaining files. On the screen of your machine, open the files one by one and position them in 2 columns: 2 files in one column, and 3 files in the second column. Try to space the designs evenly. When you have arranged all 5 designs, emroider them one by one.

Cutting

Align the first and the second embroidered pieces so that embroidery forms a pyramid shape. Trim the matching edges and sew the pieces together. Press the seam. Trim the piece to 14 1/2" x 15 1/2".

Sew both strips with stitch-outs together.

Out of lime green fabric, cut

2 strips measuring 1 1/4" x 14 1/2" and

Quilting and Finishing:

Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with batting. Spread your working piece over it.
