Step 1 - Download your design sheet, print it out.

Step 2 - Cut around the illustrations from the printed sheet and place the design you want to stitch, face side up, on a flat surface. Note - if you don't place the design face side up your design will be backwards.

Step 3 - Decide where you want your embroidery and place your base fabric on top of your design sheet and secure it using pins or masking tape.

Step 4 - Place your base fabric against an available light source i.e. a window, lightbox or computer screen and trace the design onto your base fabric using a water-soluble embroidery transfer pen.
