• Fabric B, cut the following: • Cut two strips, 2-1/2 inch x WOF. 

• Fabric C, cut the following: • One strip, 9 x 18 inch for embroidered cuff (Note: the silk dupioni used in the sample stocking needed to be fully hooped. If you are going to use a sticky stabilizer or temporary spray adhesive, your piece may not need to be this large) • One strip, 4-1/2 x 16 inch for cuff lining NOTE: If not embroidering the cuff, cut both strips 4-1/2 x 16 inch.  
• Remove the selvages from all four 2-1/2 inch strips of fabric cut above and trim them to the same length, if needed. 

3. Machine Embroidery The machine embroidery shown on the sample stocking is not a part of this class. 

If you wish to embroider your stocking cuff and are planning to construct it during the class, please complete the embroidery prior to the class. Refer to the written instructions for embroidery placement on the cuff. The source for the pictured monogram embroidery is The Embroidery Club 2019 (https://www.thesewingcollection.com/product/2019-embroidery-club/).
