Finishing touches
If you've got some coloured aperture cards in your stash,
you could use them instead of white cards for a more
vibrant look.

You'll need to place your stitches accurately to

create the desired shape. If you sometimes
struggle to see stitches clearly and end up
straining your eyes, try using a magnifier or
Daylight lamp.

to wash the fabric before mounting your finished stitching into a card. For more details, turn to
