Preparing the dishcloth and netting:
1. Fuse the Floriani Stitch N Wash Fusible®
to one corner of the dishcloth or the area
you prefer for the design to be stitched. Be
sure to use a piece at least one inch larger
than your hoop size.
2. Place the stabilized Dishcloth in the
embroidery hoop.
3. Place the embroidery hoop on the machine
and center the embroidery design. Mark
the center of the design on the dishcloth
with a water soluble pen or chalk.
*If your dishcloth has a front and back side, fuse
the stabilizer to the backside. *The fusible coating
on this stabilizer will prevent the dishcloth from
stretching during the hooping and stitching process!

4. Remove the hoop from the machine.

5. Place the 8 squares of netting over your
center mark and pin at the edges to secure
them. Make sure the pins are far enough
away from the stitching area so that your
presser foot or needle will not strike them.
Getting ready to Stitch!
The embroidery design you have chosen to
use will determine how you go about your
next step! It is a good idea to stitch this
design on a scrap piece of material before
stitching on your dishcloth. This will help
familiarize you with how the design will form.
If your design is a combination of fill stitches
and an outline, you will need to advance
through the fill stitch colors until you get to
the outline stitch.
**Note: If the design you have chosen only stitches a
zig zag outline, you will need to stitch it twice. Once to
hold down the netting and again to finish the appliqué.
6. Place one layer of Floriani Water Soluble
Topping over the netting. Tape the corners
down to the dishcloth to secure them.
This will prevent the machines presser foot
from catching the edges.
7. Place the hoop back on the embroidery
machine.

If your design is an appliqué design, it has
many parts or steps. You will only need two of
the steps: 1) the running stitch that shows you
the outline of where to place the appliqué on
the base material and 2) the actual applique
stitch that completes the final outline of the
design.

A. Press the start button on your machine
and let it completely stitch around the design
one time with a straight stitch. Stop the
machine immediately after it completes
the straight stitch. *You will need to watch the
machine closely if the design you are using does not
show the straight stitch as a separate color stop.
D. Place the hoop back on the machine and
complete the satin stitch portion of the
design and any other colors or parts you
would like to have.
B. Carefully remove the hoop from the machine.
Leave the dishcloth in the hoop!
C. Trim away the topping and the netting from
around the outside of the straight stitch
outline. This is a great time to get out
those appliqué scissors!
E. After the stitching is complete, remove the
hoop from the machine.
F. Remove the Water Soluble Topping. It
should tear away easily from the stitching.
If you find it resisting any, simply use a wet
Q-Tip to loosen it from the stitching.

G. Remove the Stitch N Wash Tearaway from
the back of the dishcloth. Again, this
should tear away easily from the stitching.
If you find it not pulling away, simply wet
the stitching line slightly and it will release
from the embroidery without distorting
stitches! (A great feature of this product!)
H. Trim any excess netting that may be poking
out from under the satin stitching.
