How to Build Your Own Fluffy using Pfaff's PCDesign Software

Open PCDesign and select File/New
Set Mode = large frame

Open the first file you want to work with. (Choosing files in the order: leaves, stems then flowers, will allow the leaf ends to be tucked under the stems and the flower to sew on top of the stems.)

Tools/Move to move the first file into position

Right click to deselect the file

File/Insert to select second file

Again Tools/move to put design element into position and continue to do this until you have the design the way you would like.

When finished, Edit/SelectAll, then Tools/Move to place the design in the center of the large frame.

Then file/save as.

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!
