Fabric of your choice for the applique

White bobbin thread and thread matching the top color

Scissors for trimming the applique

Tear-away stabilizer

Colored threads for embroidery

Masking tape to secure the applique fabric

Embroidery machine hoop

Place the stabilizer in the hoop and mount it on the machine.

The machine will stitch a placement line on the stabilizer, indicating where to place the applique fabric.

Remove the hoop from the machine and tape the applique fabric over the placement line.

Return the hoop to the machine. It will tack down the fabric and begin the embroidery.

Remove the hoop again and trim the excess fabric around the tack-down stitches.

Change the bobbin thread to match the top thread color.

Remove the hoop and place the backing fabric over the back of the hoop, aligning it with the marked area.

Pin or tape a ribbon or additional fabric if needed this will secure the backing during stitching.

After stitching, remove the hoop and carefully trim the excess backing fabric close to the seam—being careful not to cut the stitches.

If you're not using a metal eyelet, cut out the small marked hole. A dense satin stitch will finish the opening to attach the keyring.

Remove the project from the hoop.

The embroidery is complete with a dense satin stitch finish.

That’s it! Your keyring is finished.
