STEP TWO:
Layer the muslin liner and panel together with your panel on top, then pin the stocking to the muslin liner.
STEP THREE:
Cut 1/4 inch around the stockings. Cutting both the muslin liner and stocking layers.
STEP FOUR:
Take the stocking front and back and face them right sides together.
STEP FIVE:
Using a straight stitch foot, sew around the stocking leaving the top open. Repeat with the muslin lining.

STEP NINE:
Use Christmas Ribbon (or whatever you prefer) about 5 inches long, tuck the tales in a good 1/2 inch on the heal side. Using the free arm on your machine stitch (we used a zigzag stitch) the muslin liner and stocking together making sure that the ribbon tales are sewn down in between the liner and stocking.
