Materials needed 
  • Embroidery hoop 260x200mm 
  • Cut away soft stabilizer or old sheet 
  • Fabric for the background 
  • Fabric for the body 
  • Fusible web 
  • Embroidery thread
How to do: 
  1. Fuse the fusible web to the back of the body fabric piece. (If you use the PDF pattern, Trace the lines on the fusible web first, and cut out the body piece on the traced line) 
    If using Momento to cut the body shape: Open the design in Canvas. Place the fabric onto the Fabric Grip Mat. Use a Brayer to help adhere the fabric to the cutting mat, eliminating wrinkles or bubbles. Go to the Output Menu and press Send to Machine. Follow the steps to cut the fabric for the monster. 
  2. Hoop stabilizer (or fabric like old sheet, it will not be visible on the finished quilt) in the 260x200mm hoop. 
  3. Stitch out color 1, this is the placement stitch.

  4. Put the batting and background fabric piece in the hoop. Make sure it extends on all sides of the stitch line, at least 1 ¼” (3cm) 
  5. Stitch out the next color, it will secure the batting and fabric in the hoop.

  7. Now it is time to add the applique piece: Stitch out the next color. First it will make an outline and then stop. Remove the hoop from the machine, Do NOT unhoop the fabric. Place the applique piece in the hoop matching the outlines carefully. Use a Singer Mini press or iron to glue the fabric piece in place. Continue stitching. The machine will make an outline on both sides of the placement line and then a satin stitch edge.
