<br />
<br />
1. Supplies needed are PUL fabric, FOE, thread, and 2 circle items to use as pattern. I chose 2 different sized circles so I could make my bowl covers in a few different sizes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aEoPMuyyc4Y/UHoVgoYy6oI/AAAAAAAAAHs/S-CPE4TCN0s/s1600/10.12+bowl+cover+anything+circle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aEoPMuyyc4Y/UHoVgoYy6oI/AAAAAAAAAHs/S-CPE4TCN0s/s320/10.12+bowl+cover+anything+circle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Trace your circle onto your PUL. Cut 2 layers per bowl cover.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92qexNNNWD8/UHoV7W2akEI/AAAAAAAAAH0/XJ2TPLTWy4U/s1600/10.12+bowl+cover+trace+and+cut+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92qexNNNWD8/UHoV7W2akEI/AAAAAAAAAH0/XJ2TPLTWy4U/s320/10.12+bowl+cover+trace+and+cut+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: left;">
3. Now is the time to embroidery a design on the top side of PUL if you wish to do so. </div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xw9lqzlauPo/UHoWLMaE9EI/AAAAAAAAAH8/96EJ-txGprw/s1600/10.12+bowl+cover+embroider+now.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xw9lqzlauPo/UHoWLMaE9EI/AAAAAAAAAH8/96EJ-txGprw/s320/10.12+bowl+cover+embroider+now.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Next I do a basic zigzag to casually attach my 2 sides together. You don't have to do this. However I find it much easier when attaching FOE. It's an extra step, but for me it keeps the project much more relaxed by doing this extra step.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5KyUnVOoNKQ/UHoWjgTSpXI/AAAAAAAAAIE/FF_AEGmGba4/s1600/10.12+bowl+cover+zig+zag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5KyUnVOoNKQ/UHoWjgTSpXI/AAAAAAAAAIE/FF_AEGmGba4/s320/10.12+bowl+cover+zig+zag.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
5. When I am done zig zagging I trim off the extra bits around the edge. I trim close to the zigzag. This assures that my zig zagging will not stick out past my FOE.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-agLSpX8LdFU/UHoW1gtSIFI/AAAAAAAAAIM/hh6hVVx9L50/s1600/10.12+bowl+covers+z+z+extra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" nea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-agLSpX8LdFU/UHoW1gtSIFI/AAAAAAAAAIM/hh6hVVx9L50/s320/10.12+bowl+covers+z+z+extra.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<div align="left">
6. Now you are ready to attached the FOE. FOE is a creased/folded elastic. It is great as you can finish an edge and gather with it all at the same time. It does have a sight learning curve to it if you have never used it before. I start attaching my FOE at the center bottom of the cover. I use a 3 step zigzag stitch for attaching FOE. I like it to be narrow and long. This is a personal preference and you can experiment to see the setting you most prefer for your own work.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yo6AUxWRRHU/UHoXVGi3GMI/AAAAAAAAAIc/EX0EjmYp4-k/s1600/10.12+bowl+cover+center+bottom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yo6AUxWRRHU/UHoXVGi3GMI/AAAAAAAAAIc/EX0EjmYp4-k/s320/10.12+bowl+cover+center+bottom.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
7. If your machine has a setting for needle stop up or down. Be sure to set it for needle stop down. This was as you stop to gather the FOE your project remains anchored in the machine.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. As you stitch around the PUL you will keep your edge tucked into the folded FOE. You will gently pull your FOE so that you are creating a gather with the elastic. You will do this in small sections so that you can stay on the curve, keep an even pull etc. Again, this is why you should stop with the needle in a down position.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
9. There are numerous ways and methods to finishing FOE. This is the method I prefer to use. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r0eZ_oNQ0g4/UHoYg4lDvFI/AAAAAAAAAI0/_GMN8_drtLQ/s1600/10.12+bowl+cover+foe+end+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r0eZ_oNQ0g4/UHoYg4lDvFI/AAAAAAAAAI0/_GMN8_drtLQ/s320/10.12+bowl+cover+foe+end+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You continue your 3 step all the way around. You go over your starting point slightly and then angle off the item still stitching the 3 step thru your foe.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EH84S89xo4Q/UHoY0bEfMqI/AAAAAAAAAJE/0BUdyJDA0X4/s1600/10.12+bowl+cover+foe+end+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" nea="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EH84S89xo4Q/UHoY0bEfMqI/AAAAAAAAAJE/0BUdyJDA0X4/s320/10.12+bowl+cover+foe+end+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
This leaves a "tail" that you fold to the back side. Do a gentle angled fold to keep the edge smooth. If you fold it sharply you are going to get a bump or a point. You are "following the curve.<br />
<br />
Next you will stitch a straight stitch in the crease on the front side. You do this just in the area where the tail lays on the backside so that you are catching the tail in this stitching.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Trim the tail off close to the straight stitching and if you wish you can seal the raw foe edge with Fray Check.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And you are done... It's that easy!</span></div>
