OR
Snuggie Bunny Front total of 6 colors used size: 5.52 x 8.69 stitch count: 10608 Madeira Thread: 1. 1120 Pink ears and nose 2. 1001 White part of eye 3. 1147 Red mouth 4. 2083 Purple (Marathon Thread) apron 5. Yellow lacy part of apron 6. 1005 Black outline and eye 7. 1001 White eye speck I used the Snuggie Bunny Front Lacy as the example for below with white felt. The only difference is that the Snuggie Bunny Front has one more color. 1. Hoop tear-a-way stabilizer with white felt. (I don't know why my scanner doesn't scan the felt as white sorry.) 2. Embroidery design as colors shown from above for *Snuggie Bunny Front Lacy Apron or Snuggie Bunny Front.

3. Take the Snuggie Bunny Front Lacy Apron out of the hoop and cut just outside the black line. You can see that in several places I cut along the black line by accident this won't hurt.

4. For a stiffer Snuggie Bunny DO NOT tear the stabilizer off the back of the bunny. Set this piece a side. OR

5. If you want a softer Snuggie Bunny tear and cut the stabilizer away. I did this by pinching in the middle of the felt and separating the felt from the stabilizer. Next, I cut a small snippet in the stabilizer, so I could get my scissors in the hole to cut around. Some places I could tear the stabilizer very gently. See picture below. You can see that I left the stabilizer on the face and paws. Then set this piece a side.

Part 2: Snuggie Bunny Back or Snuggie Bunny Back Lacy Apron design file!

OR
Snuggie Bunny Back total of 7 colors used stitch count: 15315 size: 5.52 x 8.69" 1. 1120 Pink ears and nose and 1120 Pink embroidery thread in the bobbin. 2. White part of the eye and regular embroidery thread in the bobbin since I used White. 3. 1147 Red mouth and 1147 Red embroidery thread in the bobbin. 4. 2083 Purple (Marathon Thread) apron and Purple embroidery thread in the bobbin. 5. Yellow lacy part of apron and Yellow embroidery thread in the bobbin. 6. Black eye and outline and Black embroidery thread in the bobbin. 7. White eye speck and regular embroidery thread in the bobbin since I used White. 8. Black (Shown as Blue) outline and stuffing stop and Black embroidery thread in the bobbin. 9. Black (Shown as Pink) stitches the bunny closed and Black embroidery thread in the bobbin.

1. This a very important step: Hoop the tear-a-way stabilizer on top of the white felt. If your felt has a right and wrong side, place the wrong side facing up to you, then put the stabilizer on top of it. See picture below.

2. Embroider out all color stops 1 6 for Snuggie Bunny Back Lacy Apron and stop. Remember to match the bobbin thread to the thread being used. DO NOT embroider out color stops 7 and 8. For Snuggie Bunny Back embroidery out all color stops 1 7 (DO NOT embroidery out color stops 8 and 9). You will notice that color stop 6 for the Snuggie Bunny Back Lacy Apron and color stop 7 for the Snuggie Bunny Back are an outline placement stop. See picture below.

3. Take your hoop off the machine and place the Snuggie Bunny Front Lacy Apron right side up inside the blackout lines from Snuggie Bunny Back Lacy Apron. You will need to secure this down. I used tape.

4. Place hoop back on machine and sew color stop 7 only for Snuggie Bunny Back Lacy Apron. If your using Snuggie Bunny Back, it would be color stop 8 only. I choose white embroidery and bobbin thread, since I used white felt match this color to your felt color. And don't forget to match your bobbin thread to your embroidery thread.

5. Gently remove all the tape.

6. DO NOT remove your bunny yet, but take your hoop off the machine and gently fill the bunny with polyester Fiberfil on both side openings. Use a pencil end to help push filling in. Be careful not to stuff too full. Use about one open hand full of Fiberfil. After your done stuffing, tape these closed.

7. Put hoop back on machine and do color # stop 8 for Snuggie Bunny Back Lacy Apron. If your using Snuggie Bunny Back, it would be color stop 9. Use the same embroidery and bobbin thread from step #4 above.

8. Take the Snuggie bunny off the hoop use fray check around the edges. After it has dried you can now cut close to the gray outline about 1/16" 1/8".

If you want the bunny stuffed fuller skip #6 and #7 from above. Then after the fray check has dried (#8) cut around the kitty, stuff as full as you want and hand sew closed. You can also stuff the bunny with potpourri, but I would hand sew it closed. Try doing Snuggie Bunny in cotton type fabric also. Thank You for purchasing my designs! Debora Molnar
