Printing & transfer tips

Use your favorite method—this is a straightforward approach:

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

Customization ideas

• Scale it smaller for a quick win, or larger for a longer, slower project.
• Vary strand count: thicker for bold texture, fewer strands for delicate shading.
• Add a metallic accent thread on tiny highlights for extra “magic.”
• Use tinted fabric to change the mood without changing thread colors.

The pattern gives you the roadmap; you decide how Embroidered Bookshelf Still Life looks when it’s finished.
