Side Band

Design Size: 166w x 27h (Stitched twice as one long piece)

Same fabric and colors

There is a Facbook SAL group for this piece.

Tips for stitching the side band:

  • Start stitching the band one inch from the left edge.
  • Stitch the side band on one long piece of fabric rather than sewing two pieces together. Leave 4-6 stitches in between before you start to stitch this for the SECOND time.
  • Extend the zigzag lines beyond the stars if you want them to meet when the sides are stitched together.
  • When you get to the word "CHRISTMAS"... the "C" in the word Christmas.. is one stitch higher than the merry..... please make an adjustment...if you want it all on the same row!!!!
