Directions:
1.
Hoop the stabilizer in the 4x4 hoop. Remove any torn sheets of toilet paper. Fold the 1st two squares of toilet
paper under the next two squares. Fold
these four squares under the next two.
You will have three thicknesses of toilet paper and you will be
embroidering on the 6th square of toilet paper. *Make sure your
toilet paper is unrolling from the top of the roll (so you can roll it back up
later).
2.
Center this square on top of the hooped stabilizer
(one square, three layers thick, will be to your right and the roll will be to
your left). Place the hooped
stabilizer on a cutting mat and usethe grid on the cutting mat to center the
toilet paper. Secure toilet paper square to the stabilizer using tiny pieces of
double sided tape.
3.
Place your hoop on your embroidery machine. Be careful not to rip your toilet paper with
your needle when putting your hoop on and off your machine. Unroll a bit more
toilet paper so it has some slack while the embroidery arm is moving.
4.
Stitch out your design. Again, be careful when taking your hoop off
of your machine.
5.
Remove stabilizer from hoop. Gently cut away extra stabilizer from the
back of your design.
6.
Re-roll the toilet paper and secure loose end with
double sided tape. Wrap in a pretty
package and enjoy the reaction of family and friends!
