Important information

• The arrows on the graph indicate the centre of the design. Use these as a guide in determining the position of your first stitch.
• Cross-stitch is worked with two strands of thread, over one block of fabric. Make sure that all crosses lie in the same direction.
• Where a mixture of two colours is indicated under a single symbol, a strand of each colour must be combined in the needle and stitched in the usual way.
• Backstitch is worked with one strand of thread, over one block of fabric.
