Saw yesterday, can't find it today and want to make a set for my friend's birthday tomorrow! I am a useless sewer and therefore need step-by-step instructions. Want to embroider a design and put matching colour fabric frame around it - with or without batting?


(Spend hours on a towel for her yesterday, which was a disaster!)

Suzette, I had a look at the instructions. They are as always on EmbLibrary nice and precise. However, I would advise you to leave only a piece of the bottom seam open and stitch both corners say 1 cm or so. That way you can trim all 4 corners before turning. I find that this gives a neater appearance.
Looking forward to your pictures. Martine

Thank you very much for the tip Martine! That makes sense to me and I would not have thought about it!

You should be able to go to your history on your computer and pull it back up. If not type in craft tea or coffee coaster hot pad and you might find it again. Hope this is some help.Terre
