Instructions for the Let's Sew Sewing Machine Cover

 

 

Showing in the photo above the materials I used to stitch the designs out

• Fabric
• Thin pellon (wadding)
• Cut away stabilizer 1 sheet for the panels with a small amount of stitching, for the more dense stitching 2 sheets

 

Materials you will need to make the sewing machine cover

• Grey Fabric for the exterior of the house 3 meters, I always buy more than I need
• Thin pellon (wadding) 3 meters
• Blue fabric for the sky 1 meter
• Green fabric for the garden scenes 1 meter
• 3 meters of Cut Away stabilizer. Depending on the density of each design panel I used 1 or 2 sheets
• 2 meters Heavy wool batting or just a heavy batting as the wool can be expensive, I only used the wool as I had it on hand but I would have used a heavy batting if I had it at hand
• Piping for the base edge of the sewing machine cover optional
• Lining fabric

The following photos are also in the colour chart for you to follow the step by step to do the applique work

 

 

 

1. This colour thread is to stitch out, as it will show you how much fabric you need for the sky fabric as you can see in the photo above
   
   
2. (a)Lay the sky fabric over the stitches you had just stitched out, the following photo will show you (b) Stitch out over the sky fabric. Once you have stitched out over the sky fabric, (c) Take the hoop out of your machine and cut the sky fabric as close as you can to the stitches, you just stitched. Put your hoop attachment back into your machine

Once you have stitched all the designs out

• Match up the outline stitches and stitch the designs together
• I suggest for the front, sides, back and top panels you stitch at this stage the thick batting to each panel. Just stich the batting around the edge of each large panel

 

 

 

The front panel, and side panels stitched together

 

 

 

 

 

• I chose a gingham fabric for the top and back panels
• BACK Measure the width and length of the house panels
• Stitch the back panel to one of the side panels of the house
• TOP Measure the width of the house front panel and the width of the side panel of the house for the top of the machine cover
• Stitch the top panel to the front panel of the house

 

 

Stitch the top panel to both side panels of the house

Instructions for stitching the blocks together to form a wall hanging

 

 

	Stitch all the 16 blocks out
	Trim fabric away from each of the 16 blocks with your scissors as close to the satin stitched edge as possible (HINT when cutting the fabric with your scissors always keep the fabric to your right, that way you will never cut the satin stitch edging)
	Centre your backing fabric to be ready for you to place the first stitch out block with a + for placing the blocks
	On the back of the No. 6 block spray glue, as seen in the photograph to the left.
	Place No. 6 block on one side of the + As seen in the photograph below and stitch a zigzag stitch over the satin stitch border that is part of the block
	Place No. 7 block on the other side of the +

	Place No. 11 block below No. 7
	Glue and stitch all the other blocks in their right position
