Instructions

  • Secure your Aida fabric in the hoop, centering the area where your text will go.
  • Start stitching from the middle of the design outward. Use black thread for the words “Live, Laugh, Love” and the decorative bats and cats.
  • Switch to red floss for the word “Dragula,” letting it stand out boldly against the monochrome tones.
  • When the design is complete, trim excess fabric, then gently iron the back to smooth out wrinkles.
  • Frame it, mount it, or turn it into a patch for a bag or jacket, anywhere your spooky humor can shine.
