Arrange embroidery design
templates in a pleasing manner to create the look of
allover embroidery within the chalk marked area. Pin or
tape in place.
Spray polymesh
stabilizer with temporary adhesive and position on the
back of the stocking. Hoop and stitch each of the
designs, using the templates to assist in positioning
the design.
When all embroidery is
complete, press gently from the wrong side on a well
padded surface.
Cut out the stocking
front.
Place stocking front
and back right sides together and stitch. Clip curves.
Repeat for the lining.
Turn dupioni stocking right side out and press. To
attach decorator cord thread the machine with thread
that coordinates with the dupioni. Select a zig-zag
stitch, adjust the width to 3.0 and the length to 2.5.
Attach an edge-joining foot to the machine; position
cord along one edge of the guide, the finished edge of
the stocking along the other edge of the guide.
Place lining inside the
stocking, wrong sides together. Baste around the upper
edges. Turn stocking lining side out.
Cut
a 17 1/2” x 5” fur strip. Adhere Wonder Tape along the
header of the beaded strip. Remove the paper backing;
secure along one long edge of the wrong side of the fur
trim. Stitch the trim in place through the header.
Note: Depending
upon the width of the header, it may be necessary to use
a zipper foot to stitch the trim in place.
With right sides
together, seam the short ends using a 1/4" seam
allowance. Position the top edge of the cuff along the
top edge of the stocking, right side of cuff against the
lining. Be sure the cuff seam is aligned with the heal
side of the stocking. Stitch with a 1/4" seam allowance.
Turn the stocking right
side out, folding the cuff down over the seam allowance.
Fold length of ribbon in half, right sides together.
Seam the short ends. Pin inside the stocking along the
heel seam. Tack in place 2" from the bottom of the cuff
and again 1" from top of cuff.

hang a decorator tassel from.
