All we are doing is using a simple zigzag stitch around the edges of the board (hands modelled by the lovely jess... i couldnt keep my nails that long O_o).

If you havent used a sewing machine before there are instructables on how to thread a sewing machine. All you then need to do is to line up the run you want stitching (making sure the other parts arent in the way), place the foot down and insert the needle and then start sewing. Dont go too crazy, if you dont fully depress the footpedal then it goes nice and slowly. When you reach a corner, make sure that the needle is down in the fabric, lift up the foot and swing the piece around so you are lined up with your next run. Drop the foot back down (IMPORTANT) and proceed on your merry way. When you come to the end of the rectangle sew forwards and backwards a few times to seal the stitch (we were using a nobby machine that had a button that did this for you) and raise the foot and needle up and cut the thread away. Repeat with all your squares and you are done. yaay!
