Stitching Instructions:

  1. Secure the Aida fabric in the embroidery hoop, making sure it is taut.
  2. Thread the cross stitch needle with one strand of floss doubled, so you can secure the thread with the loop method.

  4. Use one cross stitch for each symbol on the chart, and make sure the stitches are uniform for a neat finish.
