Instructions
| Step 1 | Verify all materials are in your kit. | |
|---|---|---|
| Step 2 | Secure your fabric into the embroidery hoop included by unscrewing the inner hoop from the outer hoop. Place the fabric on the inner hoop so it's completely covered. Then place the outer hoop over the fabric covering the inner hoop. Secure the two hoops together again so that the fabric is taught and held in place between the inner and outer part of the hoop. | |
| Step 3 | Choose your starting thread color, and cut a piece about the length of your hand to your elbow. Each embroidery floss is 6 threads loosely woven together. Verify with your instructions first, but you'll likely want to spit your cut floss in half, so it's 3 threads in each strand. This will make it much easier to thread your needle. | |
| Step 4 | Thread your needle and start stitching! Follow the instructions and pattern provided in your kit until complete. Enjoy! |
