GETTING STARTED WITH TAPESTRY

Bind the raw edges of the canvas with masking tape to prevent snagging and use a tapestry frame to maintain
an even tension on your fabric while stitching. Using Anchor Tapisserie Wool Thread, we recommend that you
stitch with a 50cm cut length. Stitch your design in tent stitch, complete one area of colour at a time and do not
move to areas that are more than 2.5cm away as this makes subsequent stitching difficult.

Tent stitch

Work from right to left bringing the needle up in the

bottom left hole of the square to be worked. Insert
the needle into the hole above and to the right.
Cross the needle diagonally and to the left from
behind, bringing the thread up through the square
directly to the left of the completed square. Repeat
this process across the row. To begin a new row,
work in the opposite direction bringing the needle
from the back of the canvas at the top right and
insert into the bottom left of the square, below
your last stitch.

Continue working along the row to the right.
