Instructions for making the 4 small panels on a large panel
 |
I used the following for each of the panels
|
| |
|
 |
I have no idea what you call this waxed type of paper with the sticky glue below the wax. I did purchase it from http://www.stirlingembroidery.com |
| |
|
 |
I hoop the wax paper |
| |
|
 |
Get a pin and go around as I have done in the following photographs |
| |
|
 |
Lift the wax paper away from you went around with the pin |
 |
|
 |
With your scissors cut away from the pin area as shown above |
| |
|
 |
After you have used the scissors |
| |
|
 |
Take the wax paper away from the sides |
| |
|
 |
This reveals sticky side around the hoop area |
 |
Place your fabric over the sticky paper inside your hoop |
 |
The silk is now ready for you to put onto your machine |
| |
|
 |
|
| |
|
 |
Place your stabilizers underneath the hoop |
 |
|
| |
|
 |
Place the silk organza on top of the silk
I use silk organza often and I keep many shades of the very fine silk organza in my stash TIP Why I like to have many different colour's of the silk organza is for the reason why I am using it to do this work. The bright pink Thai silk that I had selected for "I am Woman" was just to bright for the patterned Thai silk background so I used the silk organza which matched the patterned Thai silk beautifully. You might keep this in mind when next time you just cannot match up with another fabric |

|
 |
Stitched out |
 |
Cut away as much as you can all your stabilizer |
| |
|
 |
I purchased from the $2.00 shop the canvas |
| |
|
 |
Before laying the Thai silk on the canvas I sprayed glued the canvas and put thick wadding over the the canvas I framed the canvas with each of the designs using a staple gun |
| |
|
 |
Framed |
| |
|
 |
On the main canvas board I also spayed glue on the canvas and put thick wadding over the top of the canvas |
| |
|
 |
I used a staple gun to frame the Thai silk over the canvas |
| |
|
 |
To get an exact place to staple each of the four panels I used pins. I placed pins around each of the panels which goes through to the other side of the main canvas |
| |
|
 |
Showing you the back of the canvas with all the placement pins |
| |
|
 |
All four panels placed with pins.
I then turned the main canvas over and then started madly stapling using the staple gun |
