2. Choose a thread to make the tassel and wrap it
around the cardboard approximately 100 times. Depending on how
thick you want the tassel to be, you may want to wrap more or less
times around the board. Snip thread from spool.
3. To remove the thread from the cardboard, firmly hold the cut thread
with the wrapped threads and snip through all strands.
4. Fold the threads end to end. Now you should have a bundle of thread
about the width of your cardboard with a loop on one end and the cut
ends on the other.
5. Attach the 6mm Beading foot to your sewing machine.
6. Select zig–zag stitch #3, width = 3.5 - 4 and length = 0.8. Place the
machine in free motion position with the feed dogs down.
7. Hold the thread firmly at both ends centered under the beading foot.
Using the same thread, stitch back and forth over the middle third of
the thread bundle until all threads are wrapped tightly together.
8. Fold the thread bundle in half once more. Now you should have a
wrapped loop on one end and the loose threads on the other.
9. Adjust the width of the zigzag to 6.5.
10. Leaving an open loop the size you need, stitch the two sides of the
tassel together. Use your judgment here- leave as much fringe and
your loop as large as you would like.
11. Be sure to tie off the stitch, otherwise the tassel may unravel!
