Transfer the pattern

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

Ways to switch it up

• Vary strand count: thicker for bold texture, fewer strands for delicate shading.
• Try a different fill stitch in one area to practice a technique you’ve been curious about.
• 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.
