Steps To Complete
For this garden flag we used the largest size of Sweet Roses Watering Can (m30529). This design is measured at 7.28" tall and 6.88" wide. When picking a design for this project, choose something square in shape where the height is almost the same as the width. Any square design 8" x 8" or smaller is a great fit for this garden flag. |
To begin, cut a piece of the main fabric (the design will be embroidered on this fabric piece) and cutaway stabilizer so that they are both larger than the embroidery hoop. The outer dimensions of hoop we used are 10" X 14". |
Spray the cutaway stabilizer with temporary adhesive. Then, smooth the stabilizer onto the wrong side of the main fabric piece. |
Next, use a dry erase pen and a quilting ruler to draw a square in the center of the fabric. This square should measure 10 1/2" x 10 1/2" and will be the center of your garden flag. Drawing this square before embroidering the design allows the design to be centered more easily. |
