Description

Perfect In the Hoop (ITH) project for the person who wants easy projects to hand out when the need arises.  These are fun to make and you can make several up and store them for gift giving in a pinch.  Maybe make a set for your home.

The steps are straightforward with the first color being your placement line, second color the tack down, stop the machine and remove the hoop from the machine and trim the fabric around the box with applique scissors, then design through the stipple stitch and then stop your machine so you can reverse float a piece of fabric on the back for color 7 outline to tack it down.  Carefully remove the hoop from the machine and trim the pieces around the box underneath with applique scissors,  return the hoop back to the machine and let the satin stitch out.
