Materials needed 

• Fabric for the background 1 piece 18x20”(45x50cm)    of white satin 
• Cut away stabilizer (an old bedsheet works also and gives a softer look) 
• Fabrick for the back of the pillow 2 pieces

• 1 piece of white ribbon 3/8” (10mm) wide for the handle 10” (25cm)

How to make the project 

1. Hoop the stabilizer and the white satin in the 260x260mm hoop. (a 360x260mm hoop can also be used, but requires a larger piece of stabilizer and batting) 
   
   
2. Select the embroidery file on your machine and attach the hoop 
3. Wind the bobbin on the creative embellishment attachment with ribbon.  
4. Attach the Creative Embellishment attachment to your embroidery machine following the instructions provided with the accessory. 
5. Pull out the tail of white ribbon about 12” (30cm) before stitching out the ribbon embroidery. 
6. Start embroidering. After a few stitches you will be asked to cut off the ribbon end. Do NOT do this, the ribbon is needed to tie the rings on the pillow! 
7. Continue stitching to the end of the embroidery. Take care to keep the long ribbon end out of the way to avoid it getting caught in the stitch line. 
   
   
8. When finished, pull out about 12” (30cm) of ribbon before cutting it off. This is the other end to be tied to the ribbons. 
   Finishing the project: 
9. Remove the Creative Embellishment attachment from the machine and add the embroidery foot instead (6D) 
10. Fold the white ribbon ends together and pin or tape them in the center.
    
    
11. Fold the two fabric pieces for the back in half and press. 
12. Lay the ribbon piece for the handle across the ribbon embroidery. Secure with tape outside the embroidery. 
    
    
13. Place the two fabric pieces on top, they should overlap about 2” (5cm) in the center. Use masking tape to hold them down. 
    
    
14. Stitch next color, The outline. Go slowly and hold down the edges if needed. 
    
    
15. Remove the hoop and unhoop the project. Cut close to the edge, all around. Make a clip into the seam at the inward curve. 
    
    
16. Fold right side out, fill with fiberfill, do not overfill. 
17. In the center where the ribbons meet, take a hand stitch through the pillow, and secure the folded edges on the back. Tie a knot pulling the center and back together, forming a “nest” for the rings.  
    
    

Your ring pillow is now finished, On the big day, tie the rings together, make a nice bow and cut off the edges of the ribbon if needed.
