Instructions

These instructions are included in your download as well as here…

For Feltie Style wings:
1. Hoop tear-away stabilizer in the appropriate sized hoop. (design file names include the
required hoop size)
2. STITCH COLOR 1 onto the stabilizer for a placement stitch
3. Place felt or other non-fray fabric to cover the placement stitch on the top of the hoop. Then
place another piece of felt on the bottom of the hoop. Use tape, basting spray, or glue stick to
hold the pieces in place on the stabilizer.
4. (optional) select a bobbin thread to match your top thread if you want the back of the wings to
match the front.
5. STITCH COLOR 2 which will stitch the feather details and join the top and bottom fabrics.
6. Remove project from hoop.
7. Carefully tear away the stabilizer from the outside of the wings. You will need to clip the
placement stitches so they get removed with the stabilizer.
8. Cut out wings using the stitching as a guide. There is no outline on the wings, so you can get
creative with the wing shape or simply follow the stitches as a guide. It’s your project – your
choice!
9. Attach wings by either hand stitching them or gluing them to the back of your doll.
