Floss
estimation is for stitching as directed on 40-count fabric with one strand
of floss over 2 threads of linen. DMC equivalent is only approximate, as
there are no exact equivalents for hand over-dyed fibers.
Package
contains a master chart and an enlarged chart for easy viewing.
I
encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and
style.
Stitches:
Cross
Stitch over two linen threads
The
motifs would work great for magnets or scissor fobs!
Make
this sampler your own by replacing an octagon with a favorite button or charm.
Place
your initials in one/or more of the octagons.
Try
using two complimentary or contrasting floss colors...or add some specialty
stitches.
