Stitch Joseph, Mary, baby
Jesus, the Three Kings and
all the traditional figures
1
First, prepare your
completed stitching by
washing it in a bowl of warm
water and mild detergent. Lie
it flat on a clean fluffy towel to
dry out thoroughly.
2
When completely dry, place
the card aperture over the
stitching. When you are happy
with the positioning, place a
few pins carefully around the
aperture to mark your place.
3
Turn the card over and stick
double-sided tape around
the edge of the aperture. Using
the pins as a guide, place the
card back over your stitching
and stick the fabric in place.
4
Place a piece of white paper
or wadding behind the
stitching for a neat finish. Add
double-sided tape to the extra
card flap and carefully stick to
the back of the card aperture.
