• 

  Step 1

  take the hoop you will be working your embroidery in and
  draw around the inside of the inner hoop on mounting board

• 

  Step 2

  cut out your disc, then trim it so it is a little smaller

• 

  Step 3

  cut out a circle of fleece or wadding
  i drew around a hoop 1" bigger than the hoop i'm doing the embroidery on so the hoop i'm working my piece on is a 4" and the fabric disc is 5"

• 

  Step 4

  next cut out your backing fabric
  {again 1" bigger than finished embroidery}

• 

  Step 5

  next layer the fabrics and lace onto the card disc

• 

  Step 6

  until it looks like this

• 

  Step 7

  cut out your finished embroidered piece 2" bigger than your embroidery hoop

• 

  Step 8

  i added another piece of fleece for a nice padded look
  i trimmed this off close to the hoop

• 

  Step 9

  then i stuck down my embroidered fabric with
  double sided tape on the inside of the hoop

• 

  Step 10

  all stuck down

• 

  Step 11

  take your disc of fabric covered card
  and push into the back of the hoop firmly
  {i didn't use any glue}

• 

  Step 12

  you get a nice padded effect

• 

  Step 13

  finished!

• 

  Step 14

  i hope this is easy to follow
  and it comes in useful for any other neat freak crafters like me!

thanks for sharing this very informative how-to ^_^
i tried to teach myself embroidery a while back (of course, then i didnt have the real hoop so i used a bottomless cake tin and tied my fabric to it with elastic XD) but since then have gotten all the right stuff and am learning properly. cant wait until i have something nice enough to frame in a hoop

i've tried to edit this tute but can't seem to do it!

in steps 3 & 4 i've said to cut a disc of fabric 2" bigger but it should be 1" larger than the hoop size - sorry!
