Blackwork Study of Cats Instructions

There are 26 pages of detailed instructions with step-by-step numbered patterns to guide you through the embroidery and there is the option of getting the five PDF files with work-in-progress photos of each cat which are set up as lessons. The embroidery is worked in the tissue paper transfer method. There is not a full chart of the embroidery in the instructions.
Recommended Supplies
8 Inch Stretcher Bar Frame and Thumb Tacks
I recommend the stretcher bar frame to work my hand embroidery kit in because the frame is quick to assemble and the fabric stays taught in the frame. The frame comes with brass thumb tacks and a tack remover. The frame can be used over and over so if you purchase more than one of my kits you can use the same frame.

Bohin Transfer Pencil
The Bohin transfer pencil is a mechanical pencil that comes with white and grey 0.9 mm lead. A mechanical pencil is the best type of pencil to use to draw design lines onto fabric as the lead keeps a consistent sharp nib. This pencil is perfect to use with the prick and pounce transfer method.

Tweezers – Tooltron Rainbow Tweezers, Fine Tipped
The fine tip, small, tweezers are excellent tools for a wide range of purposes such as hand embroidery, beading and sewing. The tweezers make a great unpicking tools to grab those tiny threads your finger nails just can’t keep a hold of and easy to pinch closed.
The tweezers are a vital tool for Goldwork embroidery to hold, position and to manipulate metal threads and because they are small they are useful for intricate embroidery projects.

Each PDF file is at least 25 pages long with over 30 pictures and instructions in each PDF file.
