Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCut 3 pieces of fabric at least 10\u201d x 12\u201d. Note: You may need to cut them larger to fit your hoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFuse OESD Fusible Woven Stabilizer to the wrong side of all 3 pieces of fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFuse one layer of OESD Ultra Clean and Tear to the wrong sides of all 3 pieces of fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHoop one layer of OESD Heavy Weight TearAway and the stabilizer-fused fabric. Embroider the design. Note: Holiday Homies features dense-stitch designs. Hooping two layers of stabilizer and the fabric will help reduce puckering and keep the fabric from drawing up and becoming misshapen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRemove the design from the hoop. Press right side down on the OESD Perfect Press Cloth. This will remove any marks from your hoop, eliminate any mild puckering, and keep your embroidery from being crushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you cut your fabric larger than 10\u201d x 12\u201d, square up your fabric. If your fabric was cut 10\u201d x 12\u201d, skip this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTear away the stabilizer completely. You\u2019ll want to tear away as much of the stabilizer as possible so that the Fuse and Seal will firmly adhere the fabric\/design to the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCut 3 pieces of OESD Fuse and Seal 4″ x 10″.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFuse one full sheet (8×10″) and the 4″ piece you just cut of OESD Fuse and Seal to the wrong side of the embroideried fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the back of the design draw a line 1\u201d from each side of the design from top to bottom. Draw 2 more lines 1\u201d from the top and 1\u201d from the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCut each of the corners of the fabric along the lines you just marked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPeel the protective paper off both pieces of the OESD Fuse and Seal that is fused to the wrong side of your stitched design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCenter your fabric on the canvas board. This should be easy to do using the corners that you cut out as a reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFuse the fabric with the design on the canvas board. Fuse carefully around the design. It is not necessary to fuse the actual design area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce the front is fused, turn the canvas board over and fold the fabric around the back and fuse it on the backside of the canvas board. You will notice there are raw edges on the fabrics fused to the back. The OESD Fuse and Seal will keep these from fraying so there is no need to treat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCut 6 – \u00be\u201d x 10\u201d strips of OESD Fuse and Seal if you are using 7\/8\u201d wide ribbon. If you are using a different size, you will need to cut your OESD Fuse and Seal about 1\/8\u201d smaller than your ribbon width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 17<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFuse the strips of OESD Fuse and Seal to the back of the canvas board where the riboon will be placed. I used the edge of the fabric that is folded over as a reference. I placed the strip next to it and fused it to the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nChoose which design will be at the bottom. Peel the protective paper off the OESD Fuse and Seal. Place your ribbon leaving 4\u201d hanging at the bottom and fuse the ribbon to the wrong side of the canvas board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlace the second (middle) canvas board down leaving a 1\u201d gap between boards and fuse the ribbon to its wrong side. Repeat for the 3rd canvas board \u2013 the top one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWrap the ribbon around top keeping it from twisting and fuse it to the other side of the top canvas board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRepeat with the second canvas board keeping the 1\u201d gap between the boards. Repeat for the third board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 22<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrim the ribbon at the bottom to even it up and treat it with a product that will help with fraying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHang on your wall or door and enjoy your new holiday decor!<\/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":1693,"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":[33],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nHoliday Homies Door Decor - OESD<\/title>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\t \n\t \n\t \n \n \n\t \n
