Read through all instructions before beginning.
Cutting the Fabric:
1. From the white fabric cut 12 pieces that are 8-1/2” x 12” and one piece that is 14” x 14”. (Note: These measurements for this fabric are given for
a 5” x 7” hoop, this gives enough room for hooping fabric, it will later be re-cut to a different size.)
2. From the blue fabric, cut 20 pieces that are 2-1/2” x 6-1/2”.
3. From the green fabric, cut two pieces that are 3-1/4” x 30-1/2”, cut two pieces that are 3-1/4” x 36”, cut 8 pieces that are 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”, cut two
pieces that are 2-1/2” x 10-1/2” and two pieces that are 2-1/2” x 14-1/2”. Use the remaining green fabric for binding.
At the Embroidery Machine:
1. Use a ruler to locate the center vertically and horizontally of one piece of the 8 1/2” x 12” white fabric and mark lines with fabric marking pen/chalk.
2. Hoop the white fabric and stabilizer; align the guidelines on the hoop with the marks you made on the fabric. Embroider design TD03, tear away
the stabilizer.
3. Repeat the above two steps for the other 11 designs, TD04 through TD14. Re-cut each piece of embroidery to 6-1/2” x 6-1/2”.
4. Use the 14” x 14” piece of white fabric for the large center design and follow the above two steps. Embroider design TD02 or TD01. If you choose
TD01 and have split the design, please follow the instructions in the manual of your machine for stitching out split designs and/or the instructions in
the ENS2 manual for split designs. Remove the stabilizer and re-cut the design to 10-1/2” x 10-1/2”.
