Make a Sewing Machine Cover
Instructions for a sewing machine cover with ties! Perfect for keeping your sewing machine clean while it's not in use. You can download and print out the appliqué template here.
Creating appliqués
First of all, we are going to create the appliqués. You can download and print out the appliqué template here (keep the scale at 100% or "actual size"):
Eat.Quilt.Sleep.Repeat.Template
Instead of tracing the letters from the template, proceed as follows:
1. Print out the template and cut it out roughly.
2. Then spray the back with a little spray adhesive (here I used Odif adhesive, which is what I use to temporarily fasten together the different layers when quilting, but you can certainly use other adhesives) and stick it onto the paper side of the Vliesofix.
Creating the sewing machine cover
8. Lastly, iron on the appliqués using the manufacturer’s instructions and then stitch firmly. Since I won’t be putting this sewing machine cover in the washing machine, and at the most will shake it out, I’ve opted for the so-called raw edge appliqué method, so I did not neaten the edges. This is a little simpler for smaller appliqués like these letters than a zigzag border. And that’s it!
