Thank you for buying Viv-A-Lee Embroidery designs,  I look forward to seeing you again at www.oregonpatchworks.com 

Please print out your JPEG/word document as it contains the images and the stitch counts, as well as the
size of the stitch files.

In all my embroideries I use Madeira Rayon 40, Marathon, Sulky or any good quality embroidery thread. In this case 
I have used Sulky Rayon 40. 
The colour choice is very much up to your own taste.
I sometimes put in extra colour stops, as some people like to have many colours, but you may change the colours 
to suit yourself.  I always use either a light gray or ivory instead of white, as it does not show up on white 
backgrounds when displaying the designs. PLEASE USE WHITE THREAD in your embroideries,  WHERE GRAY/IVORY IS INDICATED.

Please remember to hoop up your stabilizer backing together with your actual fabric, especially on some of the
thicker (more dense) embroideries. Also remember to use the smallest hoop that the design fits into.
A small pattern in a large hoop is more likely to pucker than one that fits well in the hoop.

All embroideries have been tested on various fabrics, but I do find that a medium thick fabric with not too much
stretch is best.

Please let me know if you have any problems stitching out the patterns.



Enjoy.
