1. In embroidery software load design  -frame 09 on computer screen, using size 25 font bring the letters to spell be mine on to the screen. Place them inside of the heart where desired. Save design according to your  machine software directions.
2. Transfer the new design to your sewing machine.
3. Place 2 layers of tearaway magic in your hoop. Place one of the pieces of fabric on the hoop along with a piece of Heat Magic, baste in place.
4.

Embroider design using picture for color choices. Take embroidery out of the hoop remove stabilizers. 

Note:  Heat magic is one of my favourite stabilizers. I like the freedom of not washing a gift before giving it away, so I suggest you pick up an iron at a yard sale to use just for this product.   I leave this iron set up and on high heat and it is always ready, I just plug it in and it’s good to go.
5. Mark a heart freehand about 1” larger than your embroidery. You can do it!  I use a Clovers erasable pen, one end is blue wash out marker,  the other is an eraser so if I make a mistake I can just easer it.  If freehand is a bit of a stretch for you,  try using a ruler and marking out 1” around the design then filling in between the lines. If you have heart templates use one larger than you embroidery for your pattern.
6. Cut out the heart  embroidery on the  1” line. Using this cut out heart as your pattern,  cut out another for the back of the hanging.  Sew front & back together  right sides facing, using a ¼” seam. Leave a small space open near the heart tip to stuff the heart. Clip then turn inside right. Stuff slightly, then sew up the hole by hand.
7. Make cording on your  sewing machine using color 1008  for your heart hanger. Stitch  to top of  the pillow.
8. You are going to sew trim onto the heart through both layers . Use the  design as a guide  stitch close to the embroidery ( see picture ) Attach the trim about 1/4” away from design.  Sew one layer of  trim through both layers of  the heart,  next  attach another piece on the opposite side matching the front  to  give it a finished look.  The second trim covers the stitching from the first and will give it a polished look. Use a straight stitch or a small zig zag to sew on trim with matching bobbin. 
9. Sew your button on the bottom of your heart front. Following directions in your tassel maker, make one tassel to hand on the button.
