Instructions

1. To ensure a straight edge, pull threads on the linen, then cut along the line to create a 36” square.
2. Measure in 1¼” from each raw edge, and pull a thread as a guide for folding the hem.
3. Fold under ¼” on each raw edge and press, then fold again along the line created when the thread was pulled.
4. Press again.
5. In order to form the miters, open out the last fold (hemline fold). Fold the cloth diagonally, so that two sides are aligned, and a 45° is formed. Pin in place.
6. Place a mark at a 45° angle to the diagonal fold. See diagram below. This mark will be the stitching line.
   
   
7. Repeat with remaining corners.
8. Set machine up for regular sewing, with all-purpose thread in needle and bobbin.
9. Stitch each corner miter, trim the seam allowance to ¼”, and finger press the seam open.
10. Turn miter right side out, and pin in place.
11. Insert wing needle in machine.
12. For Quantum® XL-6000, from the Pink Stitch File Folders, select Folder #1, second row, first stitch. For the Futura™, select Stitch #12, length slide all the way up, and width slide about ¾ of the way down.
13. Select the smallest size.
14. Stitch all around the hem, having the straight stitches enter only the fabric, while the needle swing enters the fold of the hem.
15. Change the needle back to the chromium size 12, and thread machine with blue rayon embroidery thread.
16. For the Quantum® XL-6000, from the Pink Stitch File Folders, select Folder #10, fourth stitch from the left. Default length and width. For the Futura™, select Stitch #32, default length and width.
17. On the fabric, measure in 1” from the hemstitching, and mark a line. The line should begin and end 4” in from the adjacent sides.
18. Using the right edge of the “A” foot along the inside of the line, stitch the Cross-stitch pattern.
19. Mark a 12” square centered on the fabric, and stitch the same pattern around it.
