Supplies


Project Needs & Notes:

- Piece of cotton, flannel, linen or similar fabric (for the front fabric piece)
- Piece of felt (for back fabric piece)
- Tear-away stabilizer
- Temporary spray adhesive (such as Gunold KK100)
- Medium weight cutaway stabilizer
- Embroidery thread
- Thin wooden dowel or stick (for opening ribbon channel)
- Ruler
- Measuring tape
- Scissors

Special Notes:
If using a ribbon for the wrap, the openings are sized to fit 1.5" ribbon for the small size (4.85" x 6.85" max) designs, 2" ribbon for the medium size (5.85" x 9.4" max) designs, and 2.5" ribbon for the large size (6.85" x 11.75" max) designs. Designs that are square or rectangular have openings along the entire side of the shape. This means a ribbon the size listed earlier can fit, but a larger ribbon could also be used. To find the specific size of these openings, simply measure it after the design has finished sewing out.

Steps To Complete

When you download a pillow wrap design, you will find multiple files. Some are the embroidery files, and the others are dieline files marked with the letters "DL". Dielines are used to cut the fabric to the correct shape and size. Open and print each dieline file using an embroidery software. If you do not have an embroidery software, take a look at our helpful video on using dielines.

For the front fabric piece, spray one side of a piece of cutaway stabilizer with temporary adhesive. Smooth the stabilizer onto the wrong side of the fabric piece.

Then spray the back side of the front paper dieline piece with temporary adhesive, and smooth it onto the right side of the front fabric.

Cut the front piece out of the adhered fabric and cutaway stabilizer. Then remove the paper dieline.

For the back fabric piece, spray the back side of the back paper dieline with temporary adhesive, and smooth it onto the right side of the back fabric.

For these designs, the back piece must be cut out of a non-fraying fabric (felt will work best) as some raw edges will remain on the back of the design.
