Hoop Water soluble stabilizer than lay a piece of fabric on top. If the fabric is not going to show in the completed design, I suggest using cut away stabilizer. Stitch out the design, all but the outline. Then remove the hoop from the machine.

 Tip: For Christmas ornaments How about using some pretty christmas fabric on top of the stabilizer.

Lay piece of your top fabric or a heavy cutaway stabilizer, or some felt, onto the back of your embroidery. This will hide all the bobbin stitches.

For the Christmas ornaments I used stiff felt along with a piece of the front christmas fabric. Now would be the time to put your hanger between the watersoluble stabilizer and your stiff felt. The outline stitch for the ornament will also attach your hanger.

Return the hoop to the machine and stitch the next color, which will be the outline stitch. This  will hold your "sandwich" together. Dont stich the satin stitch yet!
