Ways to switch it up

- Scale it smaller for a quick win, or larger for a longer, slower project.
- Try a different fill stitch in one area to practice a technique you’ve been curious about.
- Vary strand count: thicker for bold texture, fewer strands for delicate shading.

Setup steps
Use your favorite method—this is a straightforward approach:
- Print at 100% (no scaling) and choose your hoop size
- Transfer the lines to fabric using your preferred method
- Hoop the fabric with even tension
- Stitch outlines first, then fills/textures, then tiny details
- Finish the back neatly and display in the hoop or frame
Set your hoop down, pick a few strands of floss, and let the picture build. Purple Octopus Guarding Treasure Embroidery translates into a modern piece of embroidery hoop art.
