EMBROIDERY STITCHES:
  • (A) Satin stitch (use 6 strands)
  • (B) Stem stitch (use 6 strands)
MAGIC SHEET METHOD:
  1. Working on a flat surface assemble your tool kit and the base fabric you want to customize.
  2. If necessary, trim your magic sheet to a 2cm border around your design.
  3. Position your design where you’d like it. Reposition it if it’s not quite right.
  4. Peel the backing paper from your design.
  5. Now you can hoop your fabric and start stitching your design following the embroidery chart.
  6. Once you’ve finished stitching, rinse your fabric in cold water to dissolve the magic sheet, then let it dry.
TRANSFER PEN METHOD:
  1. Download your design sheet and print it at 100% on A4 US letter format.
  2. If necessary, trim around your design leaving a 2cm border.
  3. Then place it face up on a flat surface.
  4. Decide where you want your embroidery, then place your fabric on top of your design, securing it using sewing pins or masking tape.
  5. With your design held firmly in place, hold your fabric against a lightbox or similar light source and trace your design onto your fabric using a water-soluble transfer pen.
  6. Once you’ve traced your design, remove it from the back of your fabric.
  7. Hoop your fabric and start stitching your design following the embroidery chart.
  8. Once you’ve finished stitching, rinse your fabric in cold water to remove the transfer pen ink, then let it dry.
