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: Work the antlers last: their thin branches are easiest to count once the head is in place. A red bead on the nose turns it into Rudolph.
