  • Cut 2 pieces of Fusible Woven to the size of the fabric

Step 3 – Pressing

  • Press the Fusible Woven to the wrong side of each of the fabrics

Step 4 – Marking the Fabric

  • Take one piece of fabric and wrap it around the carrier, using Expert Embroidery TearAway tape to secure it at the side
  • One the long sides of the carrier, use a ruler and marking tool to mark the center of the fabric, as shown.

Step 5 – Hooping

  • Hoop the Ultra Clean and Tear Plus, paper side facing up.
  • Score and remove the paper.

Step 6 – Place the Fabric

  • Place the marked piece of fabric on top of the Ultra Clean and Tear Plus, centering in the hoop using your markings.

Step 7 – Stitch the Design

  • Place the hoop on the machine and stitch the design, following the color chart.

Step 8 – Pressing

  • Remove the fabric from the hoop.
  • Remove the excess stabilizer. Spritz the back of the stabilizer with water to make removal easier.
  • Press face down on the Perfect Press Embroidery Cloth.

If you want designs on both sides of the carrier, repeat steps 4 through 8 for the second side.
***Just make certain both designs are facing the same direction on the fabric***

Step 9 – Construction

  • Place both pieces of fabric right sides together. Pin around the edges.
  • Using a 1/4″ foot, sew a seam around the rectangle, pivoting at each corner and leaving a 3″ opening on one end.
  • Trim each of the four corners.
  • Turn rectangle right side out using the Expert Point and Press Tool. Make sure the corners are pushed all the way out.

Step 10 – Pressing

  • Press the fabric well, folding the seam allowance of the opening into the inside.
  • Top stitch approximately 1/4″ from the edge.

Step 11 – Finishing

  • Cut one piece of Velcro® the width of the finished wrap.
  • Sew the hook piece to the wrong side of one end.
  • Sew the loop piece to the right side of the other end.
