SUPPLIES NEEDED HEART SAMPLER STITCH-ALONG

10" wooden hoop
embroidery thread *See my picks below*
embroidery needle
scissors
printable pattern - Click here to print
14" X 14" fabric
Frixion pen
craft paint *see notes below*

Embroidery Thread

For the embroidery thread, you can use whatever colors you would like. Go through your stash and find coordinating colors. Or, you can use the colors I chose. I used DMC floss. Below are the numbers I used:

816
818
962
3326
3731

Fabric

You can use pretty much any type of fabric. I used a scrap of white quilting fabric. It needs to be at least 14 inches by 14 inches.

If you need to purchase fabric, then getting a fat quarter (a piece cut approximately 18" X 18") is an inexpensive option. Muslin works well too.

Try white, cream or even a solid color for a completely different look.

Frixion Pens

Frixion pens are an embroiderer's best friend. Use them to trace your embroidery pattern. When you are finished, carefully place a hot iron over your work and all the pen will erase. It's like magic!

Craft Paint

For the paint, I used:

Cardinal Red and
Baby Pink

If you have paints, feel free to find a coordinating color.

There's also the option of not painting the hoop.
