Start by printing off your pattern and checking it's dimensions
Cut the fabric to larger than the pattern dimensions and your hoop size
Fold the fabric into quarter to identify the centre
fit in your hoop
Tighten the hoop to secure the fabric
Find the centre of your pattern and the centre of your fabric design
Start stitching from the centre
Cut a length of embroidery floss no longer than the length of your arm
Separate it into one strand and keep the remaining five for later
Double the thread and thread your needle
Start stitching from the front of your fabric, leaving a loop to thread your needle through on the first stitch to secure. Tug so that it moves to the back.
Work your stitches all the in same direction, the bottom of the cross should always be the same in every stitch.
Work in either individual crosses or for longer areas of stitch work the bottom arm of the cross stitch in a row and then stitch back over the row to do the top arm of the cross.
To finish, ensure the needle is on the back of the fabric. Thread it through the underside of a few stitches and then snip off the loose end.
