Steps To Complete

Cutting Instructions

1

Load the Dress Form Pincushion (Cut & Stitch) file into your cutting machine’s software. This design has two different fabric colors across the different files. Proceed in the design software until the first color selection appears, and is ready to be cut.

2

Smooth the first fabric color onto the adhesive mat with the right side of the fabric facing up. Make sure the correct knife tool is in place. Then load the adhesive mat into the machine.

3

Cut out the first color. Then carefully remove the cut fabric pieces and excess fabric.

4

For felt, you may need to increase the pressure of the blade on your cutting machine. For best results, use a setting that would be used for denim or other thick materials.

Crafting Instructions

1

To assemble the Dress Form Pincushion, first take the front and back pieces (color 1), and match up the edges with right sides together. Pin along the top edge only.

2

Then sew a 1/4” seam along the pinned side. This creates the shoulder seam.

3

Next, take either of the side pieces (color 1), and match the notch at the top of the side piece up with one side of the shoulder seam. Make sure right sides are together, and pin the side to both the front and the back pieces.

4

For best results, pin from the notch down, and don’t worry if the bottoms match up perfectly. They will be 1/4” or less off, and that is okay.

5

Sew a 1/4” seam around the pinned edges.
