Begin by printing full size templates of the embroidery designs and a single initial from your monogram font on Floriani Template Tearaway. Be sure to indicate the horizontal and vertical centerlines on each template. Trim each template just outside the design area.

The templates are especially useful if you are making the project with a 4” embroidery hoop; the main design has been rotated 45º so it fits within the small hoop without a great reduction in the design size.

Cut a 13” x 20” rectangle for the pillowcase front and a 13” x 24” rectangle for the pillowcase back.

Cut a piece of Floriani Heat N Sta about 4” wider than the pillowcase fabric, or big enough to fill a large hoop. Fuse the stabilizer to the fabric wrong side at one short end of the pillowcase front so the stabilizer extends 2” beyond the fabric at the sides. (The additional stabilizer allows hooping near the fabric edges.)
