Finishing Hints

Using a double strand of strong thread, work a double row of tacking stitches approximately 1/2" from the outside boundary. Place embroidery face down onto a clean gentle surface e.g. a towel. Remove the lid insert from the box. Place it face down and centre it on your embroidery. Use the tails of your tacking stitches to gather in the tacking stitches, smoothing and evening as necessary, until the embroidered fabric is closed firmly over the lid insert. Use a double knot to tie the ends of the thread together. Glue or silicone the lid insert into the box top.
