Create the Topper

All seam allowances are 1/4" unless otherwise indicated.

Inset Border

• Stitch two of the 4.5" small light blocks to either side of a 4.5" small print block. Repeat with the other set of 3 squares.
• You should have two three square blocks.
• Press towards the small print (middle).

Finish Either End

• Stitch a medium print to one inset border. Repeat with the other inset border and medium print.
• Press towards medium print.

Attach to Center

• Stitch one inset border to one side of the center block. Repeat with the other inset border on the other side of the center block.
• Press towards center.

Create a Quilt Sandwich

• Using temporary spray adhesive, center the quilt topper to a piece of batting 3" larger on all sides to allow for hooping and binding.
• Once smooth, using temporary spray adhesive, center the topper and batting onto a piece of backing fabric.

Quilting by Embroidery Machine

• Print a template of your embroidery design. With a water soluble marker, draw a crosshatch to indicate the placement lines on your quilt.

• With the grid template in your hoop top, center your quilt sandwich in the hoop according to the placement guide. Hoop and tighten the hoop screw carefully.

• Load the hoop in the machine. Using the panel on your machine, ensure that your placement marks are centered and begin stitching the embroidery design.

• Remove the hoop from the machine and remove from the quilt sandwich.
• Continue these steps until satisfied with your quilting.

Binding

• Trim batting (or batting and backing if using traditional binding) to the size of quilt top.

• Bind in preferred manner. Because excess backing fabric is needed for hooping the project, a self binding method can be used.
