4. Think of the bottom line of the embroidery area as the ground, do not worry about stems going below the line, we will fix that later!

Stitch out the embroidery


14. Mark the center of the linen lengthwise. Then mark a line 7” (18cm) up from the short side on both ends. This is the center of the embroidery.

15. Hoop the linen with a stabilizer matching the vertical and horizontal lines and the center point.

16. Stitch out the embroidery on both ends of the linen piece.

Making the hem


Fold all raw edges 1” (2,5cm) twice to the wrong side. Stitch with applique stitch 1” (2,5cm) in from the edge, catching the folded edges. This will resemble an old fashioned hand stitched hem. If you prefer, you can use a straight stitch instead.
