How to Build Your Own Fluffy using BBD
(Babylock, Brother, Deco) Software

"Open" a design file, choose a leaf.

After that, you will need to use the "import" command to add more designs to the screen. Otherwise the software opens a new screen each time the open command is used. Add leaves first, then the stems then finally the flowers so they will stitch out in that order. (You want the leaf stem ends to be tucked under the stems and the flowers on top.)

When finished moving them all around and placing them as desired, simply click on file/save as and give the new design a name.

Everything which is on the screen will be saved in the new file.

Creating the Dimensional Effect
	This is what a BYO Fluffy looks like after you've stitched it out.
	This is what the back side of a BYO Fluffy looks like after you've stitched it out. Notice the ring of white bobbin thread in the middle of each flower.
	Clip and/or pull out (I prefer to clip) the white bobbin thread only. Do NOT cut the top threads that have looped to the backside.
	After the bobbin thread has been removed from the backside, use a stiletto or small scissors to slip under the loops of satin stitches and pull them gently to the top.
	Voilà! You now have a three dimensional embroidered work of art!
