Instructions:

Embroider the design. Cut two pieces fabric 16" square, and embroider design on front piece. Apply decorative trim two inches from edge of fabric using monofilament thread. Stitch inside edge of trim first, then outside edge of trim (see photo).
If trim has tassels as in photo, pull all tassels toward inside and carefully pin back to front, right sides together, making sure not to catch any of the trim (see photo). Stitch all around leaving a 6" opening at the bottom of pillow. Clip edges. Turn right side out and stuff with fiberfill. Blind stitch opening. Finished!
