JHB034 SPRING

Thank you for purchasing this set.  I am sure you will have a lot of pleasure stitching these.

These designs are combination of running stitches and applique.  Allthough I have given you the color charts for the colors I have used, you are so welcome to use your own favourite thread colors.  The colors you use for your flowers will also depend on the color of your fabric.  My thread of choise is Marathon threads.

Hoop your quilters batting and your fabric and stitch.  I found that no other stabilizer was required.  If you however do not wish to stitch them through the batting, then tear away stabilizer is fine.

The applique areas are done as follows:

First you get a placement line of where your fabric needs to go.  Then float a square of fabric over this area and stitch it down with the following color.  First you will get a run stitch and directly a zig-zag or double run line.  After this has stitched, remove your hoop from the machine, but not the design out of the hoop.  Now, as closely as possible, cut away the excess fabric around your flowers.  Once this is done, place hoop back on the machine and stitch the rest of the design.

These designs are fantastic for quilts, runners, table toppers, bags, placemats or whatever you wish to make with them.

Have fun!
