Here's how
STEP 1 Tack the horizontal and vertical centre lines of the fabric. Work from the centre out and follow the symbols on the chart to cross-stitch the design. Each square on the chart indicates 1 cross-stitch. Each cross-stitch is worked using 2 strands of Anchor thread over 2 linen threads.

STEP 2 When all cross-stitching is completed, frame as desired.

Hey... Follow following instructions and you can download the rest of the parts.
Right-click on the other part links and "copy shortcut", then paste that to the address bar, and replace the alphabet1 with alphabet2, alphabet3, or alphabet4, then load that address...
it will download the appropriate part of the pattern.
Cheers...

Hi there, I have a back issue magazine - Dec '05 - it has an alphabet cross stitch in a heart design - is it all possible that you would still have the pattern sheet for this??
Thanks.....Anne-Marie
