Each design contains both cross-stitch over one linen thread and cross-stitch over two linen threads. For cross-stitch over one linen thread use one strand of floss - for cross-stitch over two linen threads use two strands of floss. Designs also contain a back-stitch border using one strand of floss. Directions for all three stitches provided.

I encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and style.

One design would make a wonderful needlebook or would be a great valentine for that special someone.
