What exactly do you find in the package, and what makes it so special?

The set contains a pre-printed cotton canvas, the required amount of embroidery thread, the wooden embroidery hoop, a color printed pattern template, and two size 6 steel embroidery needles. Preparing the project is extremely simple and fun: you need to separate the threads into strands according to the attached illustrated guide. From the detailed illustrations and the scannable "How to get started?" video, you can read exactly which stitch type required for the pattern (stem stitch, satin stitch, long and short stitch, and running stitch) should be made with which thread color and how many strands.

Expert Tip / Designer Thought

Cut the threads into approximately 50 cm lengths during embroidery, because longer thread strands can easily wear out due to the many stitches. With this simple trick, your thread remains shiny, strong, and intact all the way through. The embroidery thread should never be used as a whole, but with the specified number of strands according to the pattern description.

On the embroidery diagram, you can read the instruction given in the example below for each element of the embroidery:

• 7 - B - 3 Brins
  • 7 - the color code (read it on the edge of the sheet)
  • B - type of stitch (check the drawing of it)
  • 3 Brins - make it with 3 thin thread strands (separate the embroidery thread into strands beforehand)
