Front piece: down arrows indicate folded 6” and 4” cotton printed squares, 6 in total. Side arrows indicate solid and batik strips as in diagram. g g g g g Embroidery Embroidery Embroidery g g instructions Preparation steps It’s also important to measure the intended body pillow, or create a size that can be used for a multitude of pillow sizes to include standard sizes. 1. Prewash and dry your fabrics if desired. 2. Creating your pattern using INSPIRA® Tear N’ Wash stabilizer with graph is always great if you need a pattern guide. Adjust your pattern according to the size of your body pillow. 3. The front and back of this pillow wrap are different. The front is using an assortment of cotton blocks exploring fabric dye techniques. The back is one large batik piece to co-ordinate with front. Cutting Pillow Wrap Front 16” x 16” from each 3 solid white cotton fat quarters for machine embroidery (4 – 6” x 6”) and (2 – 4” x 4”) from 2 printed cotton fat quarters 3 – 16” x 16” INSPIRA® Aqua Magic pieces 3 – 16” x 16” INSPIRA® Clear N’ Melt pieces Borders 4 – 2” x 11” cotton strips for sashing 2 – 2½” x 34” batik for outside border 2 – 2½” x 34” solid for inside border Back Piece Cut to the size of the pillow front when complete. Front Piece Note: Technique blocks are cut to size after the techniques have been completed. Machine Embroidery 1. Layer the INSPIRA® Aqua Magic stabilizer, and 16” x 16” Cotton on top of that layer. Then add a layer of INSPIRA® Clear N’ Melt on the top of the cotton and hoop. Load the desired embroidery design. In this case it’s PFAFF® Holiday Line Art Collection #477. You may choose to pick a built in embroidery design. 2. Always look at your embroideries and decide which suits the theme. 3. Thread the machine with white cotton 30wt thread and 60 wt bobbin thread. The cotton thread will easily dye with the cotton fabric. 4. Explore the placement of the embroidery. 5. Placement of the embroidery onto the white cotton fabric is a personal choice. 6. Embroider the snowflakes or trees or design of choice on each block. There will be 3 blocks. 7. This block measures 16” x 16” at the start, but will be cut to 14” x 14” after embroidery and dyeing. The embroidered block was cut larger originally to have more area to explore the preferred dyed surface area.
