1) Pre-cut your fabric as per the layouts below. 2) Print and cut out the half-heart template shape supplied 3) Fold a piece of low loft (thin) batting in half, pin the template on top and cut out the shape as is – no seam allowance to be added.

Take the 2 pieces of pre-cut fabric (2(2(2(2) ) ) ) fold in half and press. Spray the heart-halves with a tiny bit of 505 and place inside the folded fabric – leaving an even distance to the edge at top and bottom and as close as possible to the fold. Fold over and slightly press with the palm of your hand. VERY tightly hoop a layer of WSS (water soluble stabilizer such as Vilene) and stitch color 1, the placement indicator for the 2 heart halves. Use the sandwiched half you prepared for the left side, accurately place with the folded

edge to meet the indication line. Hold in place and stitch color 2. Repeat procedure with the right side of the prepared half heart shape. Stitch in place with color 3

Stitch color 4 . Stitch color 5 – the indication line for your next piece of pre-cut fabric (3(3(3(3)))) Place fabric wrong side facing you and one long raw edge just covering the indication line and with a small seam allowance to both sides – stitch color 6.

Fold fabric over and finger press – repeat with opposite side (colors 7 and 8) Trim away excess fabric to reduce bulk. Hold fabric down and stitch color 9 – place next pre-cut piece of fabric (4(4(4(4)))) as done before, fold over and stitch in place with color 10. Repeat with opposite side (colors 11 and 12)

Now place your next 2 pieces of pre-cut fabric (5(5(5(5)))) – colors 13 – 16. Stitch color 17 – all placed fabric pieces will now be tacked down. Make sure all fabric lays nice and flat – have a flat article ready (seam pusher works well) for the areas were needle and food could get hooked .

Carry on stitching until last color is next Remove hoop from machine and place on a flat surface – back of hoop facing you: Place 1 piece of pre-cut fabric (lining) (1) (1) (1) (1) and place it wrong side facing you over the back of your hoop – make sure all embroidery is covered – fix with a little 505 spray. Turn hoop around – press inside hoop with fingers to make sure the fabric at the back is not coming off.

Create a loop for the hanger ad place it as shown here (use cello tape to hold in place) or alternatively attached it later with some stitches by hand. Lastly take the 2nd piece of pre-cut fabric (backing) (1)(1)(1)(1) – cut same size from batting or insulated lining (Insul- Bright for example) and fix it to the left side of the fabric with a little 505 spray. Place into hoop with batting side facing you – make sure all embroidery is 100% covered – Hold down and stitch last color. Remove work from hoop and trim away all excess batting/fabric – use a seam pusher for curves. Leave a small seam allowance along the open area.

Turn inside out and stitch the opening closed with a few slip stitches by hand. Rinse out all WSS in warm water – change water several times and leave project in water for some hours – add a little fabric softener if you like. Dry flat. Once dry turn potholder to wrong side – remove all loose thread and finish off by also slipstitching the inner section of the opening closed. Turn back to right side – and your project is done !
