Mark the position of the embroidery. If you have a printer and embroidery software, print-outs of the designs can be helpful. If you do not, you can cut out rectangles of the same size as the designs and arrange them on the fabric to determine the position of the embroidery.

Select threads.
Stabilize the chosen area. Hoop the fabric tightly and embroider the designs one by one.
Quilting:
Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with batting. Spread your working piece over it.

Pin all layers together.
The working piece prepared for quilting - the top, batting and backing are pinned together.

With a chalk pencil mark the edges of the future banner. Quilt within and slightly beyond these edges.
We quilted in a free-motion style all over the quilt. First echo-quilt around the embroidery, then quilt in any pattern.
After the quilting is finished, remove the pins which are left beyond the margins and press with heavy steam. Cut along the margins. Check that the left and right sides are of the same length. Cut the upper edge right and the lower edge at angle.

Finish the raw edges with the binding.

Making the Hanging Loops:
Out of contrast fabric, cut a strip measuring 4 1/2" x 26". Fold it in half lengthwise, right side inwards.
Stitch along the open edge, seam allowance 1/4", to get a tube.
Turn the tube right side out. Press.
The tube is being turned right side out.
Topstitch along each long edge with seam allowance about 1/4".
Topstitch along the long edges.
Subcut the strip into 5 strips, each 5" long.
The strip is subcut into 5 pieces.
Fold each new strip in half widthwise and align the short edges. Finish the short edges with zig-zag stitch or serger.
the hanging loops are finished.
Pin the loops to the upper edge of the bammer on the back. You can either stitch the loops to the binding by hand, or...
The loops are pinned to the upper edge of the banner.
Move the pins to the front and, thread that matches the binding, topstitch in the ditch securing the loops in place.
The pins are moved to the front of the banner.
