**PROJECT IDEA**
These machine embroidered cross stitch designs
are sized to perfectly fit in the distinctly woven blocks
of the Lady Elizabeth Afghan.
Using a cutaway stabilizer,
center one stitchable woven square of the afghan in your hoop and embroider it.
On a loosely woven fabric such as an afghan,
it is important to use a cutaway stabilizer.
This will prevent your cross stitches from becoming distorted.

If your afghan will be used very much,
I suggest that you cut a square of cotton muslin
to cover the back of each embroidered square.


TIP: Be sure to have the weight of the afghan evenly distributed
and NOT disturbing the motion of your hoop
when you are embroidering the designs.
This will help assure a perfect stitchout.

I entered this afghan in a Lighthouse Art Show and it won
BEST OF SHOW!
