just sew it together, if you do it by hand your bell will be so much pretty, good luck.**

Sewing it together depends on whether it is a 3D bell or just a bell. Either way it is best done by hand sewing, (don't use machine embroidery thread as it is not strong enough) but do match the colour and use a good quality poly or poly-cotton thread. Turn the design inside out and stitch it from the wrong side as this will show less of your stitches when you turn it to the right side.

I always stitch my FSL together, before washing out the WSS but doing it this way can sometimes cause your hand stitching to be looser so you have to make sure you trim away as much WSS from the edges as you possibly can before you stitch together.

I hope this helps.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

Thanks, I was wondering this too, tempted to buy the 3D bell that is up today, so pretty and you can used different colors and make several that will all be different!

I machine sewed mine as much as I could using a small zigzag sitch. When I could no longer use the machine, I hand stitched it. I sewed slowly to make sure the zigzag stich caught the edge.
