They turned out quite well. I like stockings that are bound like a quilt! They should really love them!

So I just cut the templates out and then traced around them on the wrong side of fabric that had been bonded to Heat and Bond. Then I cut them out. Took a while. Heather's name is blanket stitched on. On Travis', I applied them and pretty much soaked them with Fray Block. They probably will be seldom washed and they seemed to have a good bond and the fray check didn't let them fray so I just went with that. I will get some new equipment hopefully for the baby another niece is having in the spring and will try to cut the letters out on the cricut. That would be the best for sure.
