Stitching Cards General Instructions
Published at www.stitchingcards.com
You will need a suitable pricking mat. This could be foam or felt but should allow easy penetration of
the pricking pin whilst protecting your work surface. Lay your blank card onto the pricking mat with the
right side (outside) of the card facing upwards.
Place the pricking pattern on the card in the required position. Use a fine pricking tool to pierce through
the pattern and the card. If you do not have a purpose made pricking tool then a hat pin or similar can be
used.
Remove the pricking pattern. The pricked holes can be seen on the card.
Turn the card over so the wrong side (inside) is uppermost.. Select a suitable thread such as Kreinik
metallic cord. Use a Number 10 embroidery needle. Use a length of thread that you are comfortable
with. We suggest using about a third of a metre (14 inches). Secure the end of the thread to the card with
adhesive tape. Pass the needle through the start hole from the back to the front of the card.
Follow the instruction diagram. Refer to the finished diagram from time to time to see the complete
stitching required.
When the thread on your needle runs out secure the end of the thread with adhesive tape on the back of
the card and start a new thread.
Continue to follow the instructions a section at a time. Some patterns uses beads. These are held in place
with stitching. You may need to use a beading needle if the bead holes are very fine.
If you are using a double fold card (a card with three panels) then place the completed card on your
work surface with the right side facing downwards. Fold the left-hand panel across to cover and hide the
back of the stitching work. Secure the panel in place with double-sided adhesive tape or card adhesive.
The stitching of your card is now complete. You may choose to add a suitable greeting with stickers,
stamping or handwriting.
Stitching Terminology.
Where the instructions say  Out at this means passing the needle through a hole from the back of the
card to the front.
