*See Stitch Guide and Getting Started for more info

Colors: Grey DMC 415, Yellow DMC 3820, Orange DMC 721, Pink DMC 3607

Make stitches slightly bigger than the printed area so the printing does not show. Do Satin Stitch areas before Back Stitch. Grey teardrop shapes are Back Stitch with a single stitch in center and around edge.

Get in the habit of running your needle under a few stitches as you move from shape to shape. This will allow you to clip the threads that you may see through the white fabric from the front.
