Before Class (This will give you more embroidery time) Per Claudia's directions, cut out background fabric, outer border fabric and inner border fabric. Back the background and outer border cut pieces with Shape Flex. Per Claudia's tips for fabric preparation: First steam iron and starch fabric. Then place the Shape Flex adhesive side down, on the wrong side of the fabric. Spray with water. Use your hands to smooth out the moistened Shape Flex over the fabric before using the steam iron. Set the steam iron on the center area of the Shape Flex and hold the iron long enough to dry and seal the two layers together, but not so long that it burns. Pick up the iron and place it close to the first spot. Repeat until all the interfacing is sealed to the fabric. This will "pre-shrink" both the fabric and Shape Flex. The Shape Flex will shrink, that is to be expected. All the edges of the Shape Flex should be sealed to the fabric. If "air bubbles" are showing on the fabric, you need to spray with water and press again. Cut Polymesh Stabilizer for each background and outer border pieces. Cut the Polymesh large enough to have a 3" border around the fabric block. You may need to piece (use adhesive spray) the Polymesh to get the size needed. Center the fabric piece on the Polymesh. Use adhesive spray to fuse the Polymesh to the block. The fabric should be smooth and lay flat. Use a removable marking pen, nor air erasable. Make sure the markes are very clear and THIN lined. One the right side of each background square draw a center crosshair the full length and width of the fabric. The lines must be perpendicular to each other.
