I would fuse the hearts in place, then fuse the white section to one red section, do the stitching to sew down the hearts and do the vine embroidery. Then sew the 2 halves together, cut the slit through the top, because you can then fuse the small red circle on top to cover the slit and finish it up with the edge stitching around the center circle and around the outer scallops. And also echo stitch around the hearts which would quilt all the layers. Then all my ugly stitching and knots on the back would be hidden in the layers!
Great suggestion! We're happy this project inspires you! -Michelle
I was thinking the same thing. That way, you could use this at Christmas. Simply flip it over and put your favorite Christmas decoration (or a floral arrangement) on top.
That's what I would do also!
@@hexabob57 Great idea for a multi-season use! You could even do a Santa applique or a Snowman on the back. I love Dual season uses for one project!
What are the cons to do it as suggested? Fusing first then embroider
What a beautiful video. You teach everything so well and your voice is so gentle and mesmerizing. I love listening to you! You are so knowledgeable about so much. I trust you! Thank you for being you.
We're very glad you enjoy this fun project! Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle
I would totally embroidery the piece before
I fuse it down. Love the project already ordered the pattern.
I just love your projects.💕
That's a great idea! We're looking forward to seeing your project photos. -Michelle

Really gorgeous ♥️♥️♥️♥️💕💗💓
We're so happy you enjoy it! Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
Adorable table runner!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
OMG, just viewed the shamrock version of this table topper. I ❤the Valentine's version as well!! My table has a lazy Susan in the middle and I think this pattern would look great!! I absolutely love the scalloped design. Thank you for sharing.
They are all gorgeous designs that would look great on your table! Happy that you love them and thanks for your comment! ❤️ - Abby
Could you also do the embroidery on the white layer before you iron it down? Do you think it would show through too much? This is an adorable project! Thanks for sharing it!
That's what I was wondering as well.
Hi Doji - I do think that the thread would show through if you complete the embroidery stitching prior to attaching the backing fabric. We're happy this project inspires you! Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle
I think you could do the embroidery and seed beads before you put the back on. Then attach the 2 pieces stitching all around, as shown in the beginning. Then cut the back like she showed before and turn. Then you would add a patch to the back that could be a label (like you would to a quilt) that includes your name and when you made the topper. That would hide the stitches, keep you from having to close the scallop, AND give a maker record. (That’s my plan anyway. 😉)
Kim Hill, I too will do this project the way you are. I do not like stitches showing on the back.
Cute runner. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like it! Thank you for watching. -Michelle
What a beautiful project! Thank you Jen!
We're glad you enjoy it! Thank you very much for watching! -Michelle

Hermoso
¡Feliz de que te guste este adorno de mesa! ¡Gracias por tu comentario! - Abby
Cute project. I would like to start making these now that I’m retired & have more time. Truly makes a house a home to have things like this around during holidays.
We're happy it inspires you! Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle
🌺🌸 It’s a gorgeous table topper, thanks for the tutorial! When I trace an embroidery, I now use a pen with washable ink. I then use a wet Q-tips to wash the ink away when it’s not completely hidden. I would embroider on the top piece only, like you suggest, to avoid seeing the threads on the back and then sew the front and the back together and close the opening with an invisible stitch.
Thanks for watching! We are so happy you enjoyed the tutorial! -Kristen
Sew so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this
We're very happy you enjoy this project! Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle
Pretty 😍
Glad you like it! Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
Just beautiful! Hopefully I can get a kit! Love all of your designs and I’m thinking a monthly table topper would be nice!
We're glad you like it! You can find this kit here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/c6562 -Michelle
Cute project.
Glad you like it! Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
I really liked the project and was easy to follow the directions. The only issue was I was short about 15 red seed beads. I marked exactly from the pattern. I didn’t realize I was short until halfway sewing them on. I bought a tube of seed beads but they didn’t match exactly so I took off the original ones and added the new ones. I’m disappointed that the kit didn’t include all that was needed. I’m happy with the finished product but that the company should know.
Hi Mary Anne - According to our pattern, you should have received 42 of the red seed beads with this project. If you're every missing anything from your kits, please reach out to our Customer Service Team [(208) 664-4567] and they'll be happy to help you. -Michelle
Jen could you show the back of the projects? Curious to see what your finished back looks like compared to mine,Thanks. I have bought 2 of these kits so far and I think I am going to buy ALL of them they are beautiful.
We will pass that suggestion along to our team! Thank you for watching this tutorial! -Kristen
Love this project. Beautiful design. Do you knot the embroidery thread or how do you get it to stay in position in the first stitch? Thank you.
Hi Linda- Yes, we do knot the embroidery stitch prior starting. Hope this helps :) -Michelle
Are the hearts and center circle made of wool?
Hi Lisa - The hearts & center of this project are just 100% cotton fabrics. We do have a wool version available here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p81761 -Michelle
Cute project! When I click on the link to the .pdf it takes me to a different page but I’m still not able to get to the February Pattern pdf. What am I missing?
You can purchase the February Simply Sweet Table Topper PDF here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p145825 -Michelle
What was the longer needle that you showed first? (not the Chenille needle)
Hi Shelley - That would be our Embellishing Needle - we are currently sold out, but we do have more coming in soon, so you can sign up for the list to be notified by email when they get here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p71656 -Michelle
Are the appliqués raw edges?
Great question! Yes, these laser cut appliquè shapes are raw edged. Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
So how was the "X"cut in the fabric backing closed up? Did I miss that?
Hi beanjean60 - The "x" gets closed when you fuse the white scalloped appliqué piece on top. Hope this makes sense :) -Michelle
Can I download a PDF pattern for this project?
Hi Carole - You can purchase this PDF pattern here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p145825 -Michelle
Couldn't you do the embroidery on the "white" before you fused it to the red?
Hi SL Fost - You definitely can do the embroidery first, but the underside more than likely would show through. Hope this helps! -Michelle
Is this not a free download for the pattern? Monthly for the year.
Hi Gail - This particular series was based off an existing series - the Simply Sweet Mats, which are Wool. Since the pattern for that series is a paid pattern, we did not feel it was right to make this one free since so many people have already paid for the original. We do have more projects planned, so stay tuned! -Michelle
@@ShabbyFabrics Thank you for the reply. I totally understand. I will stay tuned. Thank you for all the wonderful designs you do give out. I always enjoy seeing the new releases.
@@gailjackson2663 We're glad you enjoy our delightful designs, and we do still offer Free Downloads with some tutorials, like with today's Blushing Heart Wreath project: www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/570 -Michelle
Love this project but would but would sequence the assembly and stitching so the hand embroidery wouldn't show & you could still use the turn close technique shown.
Thanks for the great suggestion! We're glad you enjoy this fun project. -Michelle
This is very pretty but I would do the hand embroidery before fusing it on the back. I don’t like the stitches to show.
That’s a great idea. thanks so much for watching. -Michelle
