Select a coloured thread of your chose. Stitch out No. 5. |

Instructions for putting all the panels together |
|
|
|
|
|
Stitch Border “Under_01” to “1st Winter Scene” using a zigzag stitch. |
|
|
|
In the photo you may be able to see I have stitched a zigzag then I am about to change my settings to a satin stitch. Stitch the satin stitch over the zigzag stitch. This will be your finished look, make your finished satin stitch the width and length that best suit you as you will use the same dimensions you just used for your satin stitch for the rest of the bag. HINT Start your satin stitch away from the edge satin stitch for a little way and then hit your “Reverse Button” on your machine and go back to the beginning, that way you will get a smother finish. |
