Setup steps

A clean transfer makes stitching calmer. Here’s one way to do it:

1. Print at 100% (no scaling) and choose your hoop size
2. Transfer the lines to fabric using your preferred method
3. Hoop the fabric with even tension
4. Stitch outlines first, then fills/textures, then tiny details
5. Finish the back neatly and display in the hoop or frame

1. Choose a hoop size and print the matching page
2. Transfer the outline, then stitch the main shapes first
3. Add texture and small details last (it’s the fun part)
4. Finish in the hoop or frame it once the fabric is pressed

About the design

Customization ideas

• Add a tiny initial or date near the edge to make it giftable.
• Scale it smaller for a quick win, or larger for a longer, slower project.
• Use tinted fabric to change the mood without changing thread colors.
• Switch the color palette to match your space—pastels, jewel tones, or neutrals all work.
