Instructions:

Step 1: Download your design sheet, print it out. The design format is A4 so if you are printing on US letter, make sure to print at 100%

Step 2: Cut around the illustrations from the printed sheet and place the design you want to stitch, face side up, on a flat surface

Step 3: Decide where you want your embroidery and place your base fabric on top of your design sheet and secure it using pins or masking tape.

Step 4: Place your base fabric against an available light source (i.e a window, lightbox, or computer screen), and trace the design onto your base fabric using a water soluble embroidery transfer pen.

Step 5: Once you have traced the design, remove the pinned design from the back of your fabric.

Step 6: Hoop fabric and start stitching out your design following the stitch instruction illustrations. It’s super easy, just follow the lines.

Step 7: Once you have finished stitching your design, rinse your base fabric in cold water to remove transfer pen ink.
