Embroidery

This design will require a 5” x 7” or larger embroidery hoop (different sizes of the design are available).

Stabilize Linen/Cotton Fabric: We suggest either an iron-on or sticky stabilizer for all cross stitch. Stabilize the Linen/Cotton fabric and hoop the fabric.

Fruit of Life Design Details File: Print out and refer to the Fruit of Life details file, included with each machine design file download to stitch the design in the correct Color Stop order.


Cutting & Assembling Instructions

After completing your stitching, center Fruit Heart embroidery and trim to 7” x 9”. Trim the blue violet fabric strip to measure 1 ¼” wide, and cut two 9” strips and two 8½” strips. Sew the 9” strips to each side of embroidery first, then add the 8½” strips to the top and bottom, completing your first border. Press seams towards border.
