The fabric comes with the design hand dawn on so you do not have to be concerned about transferring the design yourself and the threads come on a numbered thread template so you know exactly which colour to use on the embroidery. There are 4 DMC cotton thread colours used in the embroidery. The landscape is outlined in pearl purl couched down with a single strand of black YLI silk thread.
Each stitched tree comes out slightly different making the embroidery fun and unique to the person who stitches it.
Finishing: There are a variety of methods that the landscape embroidery can be finished and displayed. The landscape can be displayed in the traditional fashion in a frame, with or without a mat. The fabric is 9 inch square so there is lots of fabric around the design for framing. Or the landscape can be finished on a small piece of acid free board and displayed on a miniature black easel (see picture in photo gallery) or it can be displayed in a frame so that it is raised above a coloured mat (see black frame in photo gallery). There is a finishing kit with the miniature black easel available to purchase and there will be instructions for finishing the embroidery in the fourth PDF file lesson.

Needle painting can be challenging so I suggest learning the technique from one of my kits rather than from a book as you get much more instructions in my kit rather than a from book which usually only has a few pages of instructions for one design.
I am offering free on-going critique with this kit…..you can email me at any time if you have questions or would like me to critique your embroidery.

You can get the PDF files only which you can download from my website and you supply the tools and materials to stitch and finish the embroidery, below are some important things to consider if you going to provide your own supplies.
The instruction booklet that normally comes with the kit will be emailed as a PDF file, you will need to print off the design from the instructions and trace it onto suitable fabric.
It is very important that the fabric is very closely woven such as 200 threads to an inch cotton fabric or silk Shantung fabric or silk Dupioni fabric that have no slubs as it can interfere with the stitching. If it is a thin cotton fabric such as broad cloth, I suggest using two pieces together so there is heavier foundation to work the stitches on. If you are using silk fabric I suggest putting a cotton fabric behind for support.
You cannot use a fabric that is used for cross stitch or blackwork as you will not be able to work the stitches close enough together and it will spoil the look of the embroidery.
You will need four shades of embroidery cotton thread such as DMC or Anchor for the green grass. You can use different colours but they should shade nicely so no large jumps in shade/tone. You need a finer thread for the tree as the embroidery cotton is a bit thick. In the original embroidery black YLI silk embroidery thread is used.
The embroidery is outlined with over stretched gilt super pearl purl. You do not have to outline the embroidery but I found it looks more complete with the outline and the pearl purl outline is also good for neatening up unevenly stitched edges.
