Created Friday,21 March 2008 Dear Embroidery Friend, We had fun compiling this collection and know that you shall have too. Please feel free to contact me at annelr@mweb.com.na for any information. ********************************* You need: Fabric marker (very important) Leather (optional) or you can use upholstery fabric for the soles of the slippers Fabric: 2 x (314mm x 146mm) for sole panels 2 x (231mm x 228mm) for toe panels any fabric will be suitable TIP: Make sure your fabric is washable. This way you can wash your bag as needed. 2 x (314mm x 146mm) for sole panels 2 x (231mm x 228mm) for toe panels Used the same fabric outside and inside as a lining. Or use leather for the soles of the slippers to ensure durability. 2 x (314mm x 146mm) for sole panels 2 x (231mm x 228mm) for toe panels (any type you feel comfortable using on your embroidery machine) We used Marathon Rayon Thread 40wt. Use the same thread top and bottom for the satin outlines as this ensures a neat and professional finish

Lining:

Batting:

Thread:

Stabilizer: Adhesive spray:

You need to hoop the stabilizer to finish your appliqu panels in the hoop We used 505 spray
