– Hoop the tear-away stabilizer.

– Place the bobbin with white thread in the machine.

– Place the hoop in the machine.
– It will stitch the placement line where the synthetic fabric will go.

– Place the synthetic fabric over the placement line, fully covering it.
– Tape down all corners using masking tape.

– Take the hoop back to the machine.
– It will look like this after stitching.

– Continue stitching according to the embroidery file.

– Once the top stitching is complete, remove the hoop from the machine.

– Turn the hoop over. In this step, you will place the second piece of synthetic fabric, covering the entire design.

– Place the second synthetic piece right side up and tape all corners with masking tape.

– Change the bobbin to match the top thread color (here, black is used).

– Return the hoop to the machine.
– It will stitch the bottom synthetic layer, as shown in the image.

– Remove the hoop and cut around the final stitching, leaving just a few millimeters of space from the seam.

– Using fine-point scissors, make a small cut to insert the key ring or chain.
– This is also the time to add the eyelet, if preferred.

– Your beautiful alien keychain is now complete!
