    2.Select colours. There are 7 colours in our embroidery. Lay the water-soluble interfacing over the print and trace the design using the marker. The marker lines dissolve in water.

    3.Use a wooden hoop or embroidery frame. Secure the fabric and interfacings in the hoop/frame. Water-soluble interlining is a boon as you avoid drawing directly onto the fabric.

    4.Embroidery stitches used: satin stitch, back stitch, French knot and chain stitch. We used 2-3 threads of each colour. To embroider, follow the pattern. Make sure you have the printed version at hand to guide you. Tip: If the lines disappear before you are finished, redraw.
