 Instructions
B hoop
Tear away stabilizer
2 pieces of 5 x 10 fabric
4 x 4 piece of clear vinyl – medium to heavy weight
Embroidery thread
Appliqué scissors work best
Pinking shears

  • Hoop a piece of tear away stabilizer in the B (5 x 7) hoop.
  • Stitch first color ~ it is a placement guide.
  • Fold one piece of fabric in half wrong sides together and align the folded end at the top of the placement stitches.
  • Stitch second color to hold fabric in place.
  • Next color is for the lettering.
  • Cut your jump threads and stitch the next placement guide for the vinyl.
  • Cut the fabric out of the circle but not the stabilizer. Place the vinyl on top of the fabric and stitch the next color. This will hold down the vinyl.
  • Cut around the vinyl but be careful not to cut through the stitches. Next step is the satin stitch around the vinyl.
  • After the satin stitch is completed, place the folded fabric on top of the project lining it up with the other fabric. Stitch final color.
  • Take hoop off machine and pull away stabilizer and use pinking shears to cut the excess fabric to about ¼” and clip the corners.

Turn the bag inside out and you are done.

This size bag will hold fun size treats ~ perfect for friends, family and co-workers.
