Skill: Beginner

Time: 30 - 45 minutes

Janome Supplies Required:

• Portable Sewing machine

• Power cord

• Foot control

Fabrics/Notions required:

• 1 yd. ﬂannel fabric

• Scrap piece of contrasting ﬂannel for appliqué

• Paper backed fusible web

• Fabric marking pen

• Thread to match fabric

Let’s Get Started:

Appliqué Monogram Blanket

1. For the B monogram on the receiving blanket

we used Monotype Corsiva font from MS Word

program and used size 500. After mirror imaging

the letter, it can then be printed. You can use any

size and style font you choose.

2. Take the paper with the font that you just

printed and place it on the table or a light

surface. Layer a piece of paper backed fusible

web on top of it. Trace out the letter. Your letter

will be backwards.

3. Fuse the letter you just traced, to the wrong

side of the contrasting fabric following the

manufacturer’s directions.

4. Cut the letter out and set aside.

5. On the main fabric cut a 36” X 36” square

(the receiving blanket can be anywhere from

30” - 36”).
