Using your SINGER® Steamcraft Steam Iron and ironing mat, press each of the main

Press start to stitch out the tack down stitch for the folded squares. 

The next steps are to stitch out the word/phrases provided in the design or that you custom created.
Once the wording is stitched out, remove the embroidery hoop.
There should be 1 color stitch left at this point. 
Place the felt square right side down on top of the phrase. 

Place the coordinating fabric right side up on top of the felt square.
The wrong side of the coordinating fabric should be touching the felt. Tape to hold in place.

 

Place the embroidery hoop back onto the embroidery arm. 
Press start to stitch out the final tack down stitch that will stitch together all the layers. 

Remove the embroidery hoop from the embroidery arm.
Remove the stabilizer and finished coaster from the embroidery hoop. 
Remove any excess stabilizer from the back side of the design.
Using your pinking scissors cut around the coaster square. 

Turn right side out, using your 6” Safety Stiletto push out the corners.
