Want to fix a few stitches?

Draw, erase and fill single stitches, swap or merge colors, clean up strays, and check against your photo.

A good first project: a few colors and whole stitches only. Free to stitch for yourself, as a gift, or to sell the finished piece.

Stitching tip: Stitch the flame last, after the candle, so its bright yellow stays clean. It looks lovely in a small hoop on a windowsill.
