How to Stitch the Celtic Circle design using Puff Stuff™ topper:

1. Hoop fabric with cut away stabilizer.

Note: Puff Stuff™ can be used on various materials, including Canvas, Nylon, Felt, Twill, heavyweight fabrics, tote bags, and backpacks. It is not ideal for lightweight fabrics, those that wrinkle easily, or worn garments that require frequent laundering.

2. Stitch the center fill with the satin and edge run outlines. Stop the machine.

3. Lay a piece of Puff Stuff™ topper over the design. Use tape along the edge to hold it in place.

4. Stitch the rest of the design.

5. Carefully trim the Puff Stuff™ ¼” around the edge of the design. You can cut the excess in the center, being careful not to cut the embroidery.  Save your Puff Stuff ™scraps for future projects.

6. Use Lukewarm running tap water and a soft toothbrush to remove the Puff Stuff from the design gently.

Note: This process took me less than 1 minute to remove the Puff Stuff™.

7. Lay your design flat and dry completely.
