Directions
This stitchery is approx. 8 1/2 X 11
Cuttin'
Muslin: Cut 1 layer of muslin 16x10 inches & 1 layer of Warm & Natural.
You may wish to use 2 layers of muslin, or flannel or a layer of felt,
to give it that extra layer to where you don't have your stitchin' showing
through.
Tracin'
Trace pattern onto top layer of muslin, using a Mark B Gone Pen.
Stitchin'
I use 2 strands of Dmc Floss for all my stitchin'.
1 strand if it is very small detailing.
*NOTE*: If you are going to colour in your stitchery,
stitch detailed items such as eyes, noses, plaids on dresses,
stars on flags & words on dresses
after you have painted that specific area.

Fabric Dyin'
Dye stitchery with Coffee, Tea, or vanilla mixture & let dry.
Paintin'
I only use Deco-Art Paints
I only use the following Loew-Cornell Fabric Brushes.
Loew-Cornell, Series 225: ½, ¼ (to fill in majority of the colouring)
Loew-Cornell, Series 224: ¼, ½
(for those tight areas or side by the stitches)
Loew-Cornel, Series 227: 0, 2 (for the details)
If you choose to colour your stitchery,
use a dry-brush method to paint the following.
Faces: Dry brush with Mink Tan DA92
Angel body, heart and cheeks Dry brush with Rockwood Red
DA97
Wings: Dry brush with Buttermilk DA3
Stars: Dry brush with Antique Gold DA9

Now you are either ready to sew your stitchery into a
pillow, wall hanging or frame in a picture frame.
