here are the instructions..copy and paste
I love them. I have done the butterfly and apple and they work nice.
I got the freebie from yesterday - but it didn't have a tutorial with it - so I still can't figure out about the netting and cutting away what material - can you explain the process to us - so those of us - that haven't bought them - can decide - if we want to? ? ? ?
They had the instructions on there newsletter and you can read it on the site.
Hope this helps.
Hoop tear-away stabilizer
adheare dishcloth (they used glue stick)
stitch color #1 outline (should match net)
remove hoop & cut out inside design (not stablizer)
lay 8 to 12 layers net on top
color 2 tack down the net
remove hoop trim outside of design
apply a layer of clear wws and continue on with rest of design.
on the site are directions with pictures :) http://www.designsbysick.com/arti...
These are so cute. I have made some on dish rags and they make good little scrubbers for your dishes when washing them. *4U
Wow, you certainly were on the job quickly - these designs have only just been released. They have stitched out beautifully. Like the butterfly the best I think. All very nice.
I'm so happy to see that you posted a picture. There has been a discussion going on all afternoon about whether or not to cut away the fabric behind the netting, as they tell you to do in their tutorial. How did you make yours?
I hooped sticky, did the 1st outline, put the dishcloth in place, stitched the next,take hoop from machine and cut out the center of the design. I cut 6-8 pieces of netting like 4x4 and with machine on low taped all layers to help hold in place, I stitched the next outline, take hoop from machine and cut away extra netting on the outside, put hoop back in and finish with your color choices. They are super quick and easy, takes longer to explain than to do it. Good luck and happy stitching, thanks Linda
