    Assembly

    Step 1: Sew the Napkin Ring onto the back of the Large Motif. I sewed each short end between rounds 3 & 4 (see stitch markers). Make sure that the openings of the ring are pointing to the bottom flat edge of the motif, and the top edge. Weave in ends.

    Step 3: Lining up the flat edges of the motifs, sew the small motif on top of the large motif. Weave in ends.

    Step 4: Overlap the wings approximately ¾" and sew them together. Weave in ends.

        Hi,

        Are you confused with how to attach the ring to the body? And the photos don't help show you where to place the ends to sew them on?

        Please let me know a little more detail about what is confusing.

        Jennifer

      figured out the napkin ring attachment, but going from the wing back to the body to make the 2nd wing was confusing. couldnt figure out how you were twisting it. i finally just did it my own way (added a second sc so the two wings matched better. otherwise the 2nd shoulder looked weaker (showed holes))
