Instructions
- 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.
- Start with the central colour and work all the large leaf area. Then move onto an adjacent colour. Switching colours as needed.
- 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.
