STEP ONE: Embroidery Embroider all 10 blocks, using different fabric scraps. All blocks are made in the hoop, with water soluble stabilizer (WSS). You could add small designs to the blocks as well as a name spread across the top two blocks (the "cuff") to personalize your stocking. Remove as much of the WSS as possible and arrange the blocks in the correct order on your work top. |

STEP TWO: Join blocks First zigzag together all the blocks in the same row.
Recommended stitch setting:

 |
|
Then zigzag the rows together.
I don't like raw seams and joins so I
covered mine with rickrack. It looks very pretty and festive too! Add any other embellishments like ribbon, lace, beads etc. |

STEP THREE: Add the backing
You need a piece of felt or fabric approx. 16 x 12 inches or 40 x 30 cm in size. If using fabric, turn over a small hem at the top edge for a neat finish. You can either use the stocking front as a template to cut a stocking back or ... Simply pin the stocking front (wrong side up) to the fabric as shown right. |
 |
|
With right sides facing each other,
stitch the stocking top to the backing fabric.
I stitched mine just to the left of the satin border. |

STEP FOUR: Finishing Touches Trim away excess fabric and turn right sides out. Add more braid or trimmings if desired. It couldn't be easier! Estimated time to complete a stocking is about 3 hours. Finished size is 15.2 x 10 inches
