When all interior embroidery is done, remove the tear away stabilizer. Spray another piece of felt and place it on the back side of the hooped stabilizer. Reattach the hoop and run the tack-down stitch again. Remove the hoop and trim close to the tack-down stitches. Reattach the hoop and run the satin stitch sequence for the outside edges.
When embroidery is finished, remove all excess water-soluble stabilizer and use a cotton swab or wet cloth to remove the rest near the edges.
