Saffron Machine Embroidery Design Instructions
Saffron Wall Hanging
Stitch out the following designs
Saffron_01 to Saffron_16
- Once you have stitched all the designs out, place the designs as I have shown in the photograph above on fabric. I used calico.
- Once you have the designs placed correctly, mark the centre of your background fabric, as this is where you will start gluing and stitching each of the designs down
- Start of with “Safron_06” lightly gluing it down and zigzagging on the background fabric, then “Saffron_10” “Saffron_07” and “Saffron_11” and so on
This photo is showing you the zigzagging of each panel onto the background fabric (This photo is of the back of the fabric)
Once you have zigzagged all the panels down, I suggest you satin stitch each of the panels
This photo showing you satin stitch (Once again the back of the fabric)
Cut away the background fabric around the bottom of the wall hanging and then satin stitch once again
Cut fabric strips as seen in pink for the sides and top of the wall hanging
Use similar coloured piping as the background fabric for the Wall hanging and attached the piping to the gingham fabric then stitched the same fabric that is in the background fabric in the wall hanging for the end, as you can see in the photo to the left.
Add tassells

Saffron Bag
Stitch out the following designs:
- Saffron_17
- Saffron_18
- Saffron_19
- Saffron_20
- Saffron_21_bag side stitch two
- Saffron_22_ bag base stitch two
- Saffron_23_bag base_large stitch one (this design is for those who have a larger hoop)
Follow the colour chart as this gives you the step by step instructions
The above photo showing the hoop taken out of the machine
The above photo showing you the hoop taken out of the sewing machine and lining fabric over the back of the design, lightly glue the lining down as this makes it so much easier to place the hoop back in the machine without any problems of fabric folding in on itself
If you wish to put in pockets in your lining
Once you have stitched all the panels out, stitch both the front and back panels together also for all the other panels using a zigzag stitch.
Stitch each of the two side panels to the front panel
The above photo showing you both the side panels stitched to the front panel
Stitch the base panel to the front panel
Stitch the back panel to one of the side panels
Stitch the back panel to the base panel
Stitch the side panels to the base panel
Stitch the rest of the panels together
Place handles on the bag
