Designer Tips
• Change thread colors to complement your patterned paper, but don’t stress if it doesn’t match perfectly. Sometimes a contrasting color gives an even better result.
• For freestyle stitching, don’t follow the lines of your paper perfectly either, as it adds to the look if you stitch outside the lines.
