Floss
estimation is for stitching as directed on 40-count fabric with one strand
of floss over 2 threads of linen. DMC equivalents are only approximate,
as there are no exact equivalents for hand over-dyed fibers.
Package
contains a master chart, an enlarged chart for easy viewing, and an alphabet
for personalization.
I
encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and
style.
Stitches:
Cross
Stitch over both one and two linen threads
Back Stitch
Fan Stitch (border) (diagram provided)
The
motifs would work great for magnets or scissor fobs!
Make
this sampler your own by replacing a square with your initials and the year,
or with a favorite button or charm.
