Instructions

Preparation Cut two pieces fabric 17” X 17.” On one piece of the fabric, with marking pencil or chalk, trace a line 3 inches from the edge on 3 sides. (PHOTO 1)		Photo 1
Sewing Instructions Cording : Select Multi-Stitch Zigzag stitch E. Set width to 3. Set length between 2 and 3. Attach Cording foot. Insert one strand of the Bernat yarn under the first notch on the right hand side of the cording foot. Stitch following the traced outline on the fabric piece. To pivot at the 2 corners, turn hand-wheel so that the needle penetrates the fabric, lift presser foot and pivot. After sewing is complete, if using Bernat yarn, take a needle or pin and release the loose edges of the yarn from the stitches to form the frayed edge. Press lightly, covering the cord with a pressing cloth.
Eyelet Stitch: Select Eyelet Stitch L. Set width to 7. Set length to 1. Attach Satin foot. Lining up the edge of the foot along the edge of the cording, stitch around the interior of all three sides. (PHOTO 2) Repeat Eyelet stitch a second time, lining up the foot along the edge of the first eyelet stitch. (PHOTO 3) Press lightly.		Photo 2
		Photo 3
Ric Rac: Select Ric Rac stitch B. Set with to 7. Set Length to red S setting. Attach Satin foot. Lining up the edge of the foot with the edge of the second eyelet stitch, stitch around all three sides. (PHOTO 4) Press lightly.
		Photo 4
Decorative Ribbon: Select Eyelet stitch L. Set width to 7. Set length to 1. Attach Satin foot. Lining up the foot in the center of the ribbon, stitch from the start to the end of the 3 yards of ribbon. Cut the ribbon into 6 equal lengths. Press flat.
Finishing Touches: Select Zigzag stitch B. Set width to 3. Set length to 1. Attach Satin foot. Zigzag the top edge of both the front and back pieces to prevent the edges from fraying. Press the two top edges in by ½ inch towards the interior. Attach 3 pieces of ribbon to each top section, one in the center and the other two ½ inch from the edge. (PHOTO 5) Topstitch using straight, length set at 2. Stitch 3/8 of an inch from the edge. Next edge stitch along the edge of the top. Repeat this procedure for both the front and the back piece. (PHOTO 6)	Photo 5
Assembly: Select straight stitch. Set width to 0. Set length between 2 and 3. Attach Standard presser foot or Even Feed foot. Align front and back pieces right sides together. Using the seam guide, sew at ½ in around 3 sides, leaving top edge open. Trim seams and press open. Turn right side out and press seams flat. (Be sure to cover cording with a pressing cloth to prevent scorching). Slip-in a pillow form.	Photo 6
You may tie the 3 sets of ribbons and use as a throw pillow. To use as a chair cover, tie the center set of ribbons together, and then secure the two outside sets of ribbon to the back of a chair.
