Embroider the doll and then remove from the hoop.Gently remove the top piece of tear away backingfrom the rest. Remove the next piece of tear awayback and then you should be able to remove thebottom pieces at one time, so that the doll isfreestanding. Clean up any stray pieces of tear awaybacking around the edges of the design and straythreads on the back. If you used a tear away washaway backing, you can wash the doll to clean up thestray pieces of backing.
