sewing instructions

step1

To start the running stitch, bring your needle up from the back of the fabric.

step2

Make your first stitch by sending the needle back down through the fabric and pulling the embroidery floss snug. Make the stitch about 1/8″ – 1/4″ from where you just came up. The size of your stitches are not too important, but just try to keep them consistent.

step3

To start your next stitch, simply bring your needle back up again, about 1/8″ to 1/4″ away from the previous stitch. And again, try to keep the spaces between your stitches consistent as well. Now send your needle down through the fabric like before, to make your second stitch.
