You will need :

Embroidery:
|
Stabilize and hoop your fabric tightly. Upload the Halloween Cat into your machine. Embroider the designs one by one.
|
With the ruler and chalk pencil, draw a rectangle around the stitch-outs, leaving about 1" margins.
|
|
Cut out the rectangle. If you have shears with a zig-zag edge, use it.
Press the stitch-out and remove excess stabilizer around the embroidery.
|
|
Optional: sew tiny yellow and green buttons for the eyes. You can also sew tiny bows on the cats' necks.
|
|
|
Determine the position of the patch on the sweatshirt it. Pin in place.
|
|
| Topstitch the patch in place along the outer edge, seam allowance 1/"- 1/4". |
| Additionally, you can decorate the neck of the sweatshirt with a bow. |

| Have fun! |
