Bunny Butt in the Posies
This adorable design makes the perfect accent to a floral display or wreath. You can even make ornaments to hang. Easter Applique Too Bunny Tail from BunnyCup Embroidery comes in four sizes and it is on sale right now for just .99.
I stitched the 4x4 size in the freestanding applique technique and used fleece for the fabric.
The design has six color stops, four of which that are for
applique placement and tack-down stitches.
Hoop a fabric-type water-soluble
stabilizer. Stitch color 1, the placement stitch for the bunny fabric.
Secure the fleece over the placement stitches, top with a water-soluble
or heat-away topping, and run color 2 to tack it down.
Remove the hoop from the machine and trim the fleece and topper
close to the stitch line. Reattach the hoop and stitch the toes. For this small
size, I skipped the applique and just satin stitched the pink toes.
When embroidery is finished, remove the hoop and tape a
piece of fleece to the back.
Reattach and stitch color 2, tack-down, again. This will attach the back to the front. If you want to add a hanger, first loop a ribbon so that it is between the front and back. Remove the hoop and trim close to the tack-down stitches. Stitch the final satin stitched edge, trim stabilizer close to the satin stitching, and use a wet cloth to wipe away stabilizer along the
edge. Pull off the topping and it is ready to use!
