Learning to stitch these beautiful pieces is easier than you might think. Here are the basics...
Use Spellbinders yellow craft tape to keep the die pieces together when cutting (with a die-cut machine like a Sizzix Big Shot, etc.).
Use DMC cotton embroidery floss or DMC diamant metallic floss.
Secure the floss on the back with a tiny piece of Scotch tape.
Use a size 22 tapestry needle.
Keep the center hole of the design "clear."
Use Bearly Art liquid glue with a fine metal tip to adhere the stitched piece to the backing piece.
Use Spellbinders tweezers to attach small jewels (we recommend Spellbinders, Pinkfresh Studio, Honeybee, and Gina K Designs brands).
