Before starting embroidery, flatten out the canvas to remove creases. Begin by threading the needle with all six strands of an appropriate colour of thread. Insert needle from the reverse of the canvas to the front of the canvas. Leave a 1 inch long tail on the reverse of the canvas and hold it down against the canvas. Work simple long stitches, making sure that the first several stitches cover and secure the tail on the reverse.
To finish, weave the thread through the back of the stitches already and snip off. Once finished, turn the canvas and press with an iron on the wrong side. Do not slide the iron on the canvas as the threads may get disturbed. An embroidered piece may be dry cleaned but under no circumstances should be hand/machine washed. Frame the canvas after finishing embroider, depending on the decor and location of the room.
& it's done :)
