Sew Felt Alphabet Letters

Download the pdf file and print out the letter template. Cardstock would be better for durability.
Place the template letter onto the colour of felt that you would like the face of the letter and trace around it with a washable marker.
Stack the felt sheet with letters on top of two more sheets of felt. Consider using less attractive colors for the middle layer because it won’t be seen.
Place several straight pins through all three layers of felt, leaving room near the traced lines.
Sew along the lines of the traced letters. You can use a straight sewing foot or a free motion foot. If using a straight foot, lift the presser foot at each corner and turn the felt to continue sewing. Stitch slowly when going around curves. TIP: Sew as much as you’d like within each letter. Using a free motion foot is a great way to create designs, much like quilting.
Remove the straight pins.
Cut out each letter ⅛” outside the stitched lines.
Use smaller detail scissors to cut out any spaces within the letters.
Wash and dry the letters on a delicate cycle with low heat. This will erase the marker lines.
Continue for as many letters as you’d like to form the entire alphabet or a specific word/phrase.
