Embroider the Cover:

Find the vertical center of the 7” x 11” piece of fabric by folding it in fourths and finger-pressing the folds. Unfold the rectangle.

Spray one side of a hoop-sized piece of Ultra Clean & Tear Stabilizer with 505 Temporary Fabric Adhesive. Posi-tion it on the back of the fabric rectangle.

Hoop the two layers as one, keeping the horizontal and vertical crease lines straight in the hoop. Attach the hoop to the embroidery machine.

Open design #NB816 — the butterfly. Insert design #NB812 — Hope —and size it down approximately 50%. Arrange the designs on the screen as shown, within and area about 4” x 8”.

step three

Embroider the combined design.

Note: Stitch on a piece of scrap fabric and adjust the stitch density as needed before stitching your project fabric.

Remove the hoop from the machine and the fabric from the hoop. Remove the excess stabilizer from the back and clip the thread tails.

Trim the embroidered rectangle to 5” x 9”.

Spray the wrong side of the embroidered and plain 5” x 9” rectangles with 606 Fusible Spray. Place the two rectan-gles wrong sides together and fuse them following the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Repeat for the two 9” x 12” rectangles.

Place the embroidered piece right side up on a flat surface. Center the right side of the zipper along the top edge, right sides together and edges even. Allow an equal amount of zipper to extend at both sides.

Stitch close to the zipper teeth.

Fold the seam allowances just formed to the wrong side and finger press. Edgestitch the seam close to the zipper, through all layers.

Place the fused 9” x 11” rectangle on a flat surface. Position the other side of the zipper along the 9” side of the rectangle, right sides together and edges even. Align the sides of the 9” x 11” rectangle with the sides of the 5” x 9” embroidered piece. (The embroidered piece will be face down.)

Stitch close to the zipper teeth, finger press the seam allowances to the wrong side, and edgestitch close to the zipper.

step six

Open the zipper about halfway (this is very important as the bag will be turned right side out through this opening).

Bar tack each end of the zipper through all layers about ¼” from each end. Trim off the zipper ends.

step seven

step five

Door Organizer

Use the non-stick foot to stitch the 5” x 9” rectangle of vinyl to the lower 9” edge of the embroidered rectangle with right sides together.

Stitch the short side of the fused 9” x 12” piece of fabric (the bag back) to the other side of the vinyl rectangle, forming a tube.

step nine

Stitch both sides of the bag with a ⅜” seam allowance.

Trim the corners.

Turn the bag right side out through the zipper opening.

step ten

Topstitch approximately ¼” from all four sides.
