HINTS FOR A GREAT SEW OUT:
1) These designs have only outline and narrow sketch stitches so proper and adequate stabilization is necessary to make certain the design registers properly and doesn't shift. Therefore, starch fabric first to add stability, use a sticky back water soluble stabilizer, if possible or secure the stabilizer and fabric with temporary spray adhesive. You can also use a basting frame from your machine if you have one. Sew the frame first and then the design.

2) Trim jump stitches between colors for a neater finish. When finished, clip the threads on the back, making sure you don't cut the tie offs. If you give the bobbin thread a little tug, it will pull the "wisps" from the front toward the back.

3) I have added extra tie on and tie off stitches to keep the design from unravelling through washings. If you anticipate heavy use, though,  you may want to use a seam sealant such as Fray-Check on the backs to doubly secures the tie offs.
