Finishing & Assembly
Lay Center Disk on top of Petal Ring, aligning centers. Whip stitch around the outer edge of the Center Disk to attach to the Petal Ring. Repeat to attach Petal Ring to Backing, ensuring the right sides are aligned. Weave in all ends. If you like a glossy finish, give a light steam block. Optional: glue a thin felt or cork backing to the underside for extra grip and protection.
Assembly Instructions
- Pin center to backing to ensure alignment
- Sew center to petal ring along the outer edge with a whip stitch
- Align edges before final stitching to avoid puckering
- Weave in all ends smoothly on the underside
- If desired, apply a thin layer of fabric glue to the underside before attaching cork or felt to prevent slipping
Important Notes
- Gauge is not critical for a coaster, but using tighter stitches will give a firmer coaster.
- Block lightly if your edges curl; avoid soaking the yarn.
- If you’re using self-striping yarn, plan your color transitions to keep the daisy cohesive.
- Wash gently by hand and lay flat to dry.
Sunny, cheerful, and sturdy—this three-piece coaster is a fast finish with a professional look. Perfect as a gift or a bright personal touch to any table.
