This episode will detail the process of applying your side and back pieces of embroidery to your prepared box. I will first show you how to cut down your fabric pieces to fit. Then we will focus on the importance of dry fitting your embroidery, making crisp folds as guidelines, and of checking and adjusting your work as many times as necessary to get a correct fit. The sides have a very strong linear layout, making your placement on the box critical, and this video will guide you through the process. Finally I will cover the steps of gluing each side in turn and applying the back, folding under edges, to create clean edges on the box.
