Before you stitch

Tips for a clean result

  • Embroider the front panel before the cover is sewn together.
  • Use medium tear-away on cotton and linen covers.
  • Mark the center and stitch slightly above it so the design sits right on a plumped cushion.
  • Sew a test on a scrap of the same fabric.
