Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCut fabric, Fusible Woven, and Fuse and Fleece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Main Fabric: (2) 11\u201d x 7\u00be \u201c – front and back cover (1) 11\u201d x 17\u201d \u2013 lining<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contrast Fabric: (1) 11\u201d x 3\u00bd\u201d – Spine (2) 11\u201d x 10\u201d \u2013 pocket (2) 11\u201d x 4\u00bd\u201d – flap<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fusible Woven: (2) 11\u201d x 7\u00be\u201d – front and back cover (1) 11\u201d x 3\u00bd\u201d – spine (2) 11\u201d x 5\u201d \u2013 pocket (2) 11\u201d x 4\u00bd\u201d flap<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuse and Fleece: (1) 11\u201d x 17\u201d \u2013 cover<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFuse the Fusible Woven to front and back covers, spine, pockets, flaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the pockets, fuse the 11\u201d x 5\u201d piece of Fusible Woven to half of the pocket fabric. Fold the fabric in half and press. The pocket will now measure 11\u201d x 5\u201d inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nUse the StabilStick Template Sheets to print the templates for placement. I used design #51284\u201305 for the front cover and design #51284-03 for the back cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the front cover, measure down 5\u00bd\u201d from the top and 2\u00bd\u201d from the left side to place the center of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the back cover, fold the cover in half the long way to find the center and measure down 3\u00bd\u201d from the top to place the center of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you choose to use other designs, the measurements will vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHoop the Stabilstick TearAway with the shiny side up. Score and remove paper backing to expose the sticky surface. Attach the fabric to the stabilizer. For proper placement in the hoop, use the templates and the placement tools on your machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRemember to remove the template before stitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSince I floated the fabric, I added a basting box around the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter the design is finished, remove from the hoop, remove the basting stitches, and remove stabilizer from the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWith the back cover on the left side, stitch the back cover to the spine and the spine to the front cover, which will be on the right. Press the seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTo place the Velcro, measure down 5\u00bd\u201d from the top and 2\u00bd\u201d from the right side. Center the Velcro (cut to 1\u00bd\u201d) over the 5\u00bd\u201d mark, against the 2\u00bd\u201d mark. I use a glue stick on the back of the Velcro to hold it in place while I stitch. Also, I like to round the corners of the Velcro so they don\u2019t catch on anything. Stitch the Velcro on the front cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPress Fuse and Fleece to the cover piece. Stitch \u00bc” from the spine on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTo place the Velcro on the flap, fold the 2 short ends together to find the middle. Measure down 1\u00bd\u201d in the middle. Center the Velcro against the 1\u00bd\u201d mark on the right side of the fabric. Stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTo complete the flap, put the 2 flap pieces right sides together. I used a corner template to round the corners, but you could use a saucer or small plate. Trim corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStitch a \u00bd” seam. Clip to, but not through, the corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTurn the flap right side out. Use the Expert Point and Press Tool to push the corners out. Press. Top Stitch \u00bc” on the curved edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow that all the parts are assembled, it is time to put everything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlace cover right side up. Front cover is on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the left side (back cover) find the center of the cover and mark with a pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 17<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFind the center of the long unfinished edge of the flap, mark with a pin. Place the flap on the back cover, matching the pins, Velcro side up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlace the pockets on the cover. The folded edge to the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStitch the pockets to the cover. I stitched in red, so it was more visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlace the 11\u201d x 17\u201d lining fabric face down on the pocket layer. On the right side, leave about a 5\u201d opening, so you can turn the project right side out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStitch around the journal with a \u00bd” seam, not stitching in the 5\u201d area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 22<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nClip to, but not through, the corners. Remove some of the extra seam allowance by the corners. Turn right side out. Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBefore you turn the pockets right side out, you will need to close the opening. You can either hand stitch the opening or use a piece of Fuse and Seal. I cut a strip of Fuse and Seal \u00bd” x 5\u201d. I placed the Fuse and Seal in the opening and pressed it. Remove the paper and press again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nUse the Point and Press Tool to turn the pockets right side out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAdd the journal and your project is complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis material is \u00a9 OESD, LLC and may not be reproduced or published without permission.<\/em><\/p>\n\r\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1307,"template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false},"categories":[30],"tags":[63,59,64,65,49,53],"yoast_head":"\nAll Who Wander Travel Journal - OESD<\/title>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\t \n\t \n\t \n \n \n\t \n
