Creating the Poem
In the PE-Design create a poem in a font of your choice. Use a size that will fit in the largest hoop.
Step 1: Down load to a floppy or the PE-Design Card.
Step 2: Draw a square 16'' x 16'' on the 20'' x 20'' piece of fabric.
Step 3: Hoop the stabilizer and the fabric in the upper right corner of the 16'' square.
Step 4: Insert the design card or the floppy in the machine and embroider the poem.
Step 5: Insert Design Card No. 53. Select the fisherman.
Step 6: Hoop the stabilizer and the fabric in the lower left corner.
Step 7: Place design as desired and embroider.
Step 8: Select a man's necktie. Tie the knot and arrange diagonally across the pillow. Tack the tie to the pillow with a needle and thread.
Preparing the Back
Step 1: Press under 1'' on each of the long edges of the two back pieces.
Step 2: Sew Velcro to the back of one piece and the top of the second piece.
Finishing the Pillow
Step 1: With right side together sew the front and back together.
Step 2: Open and stuff with fiberfill or insert a 16'' pillow form.
HINT:
To prevent "dog-eared" corners on your pillow, stuff each corner with a small amount of fiberfill. This will help create nice full square corners.
Kay Brooks, sewing consultant, created this pillow idea for the Brother Embroidery Machines ULT2001 and ULT2002D.
