FreeCraftz.com presents: America Land that God made Free Stitchery Pattern Directions "America Land that God made Free " Stitchery Directions by Tiffany "Twigs" Carnal ©2003 This stitchery is approx. 8 1/2 X 11 Cuttin' Muslin: Cut 1 layer of muslin 16x10 inches & 1 layer of Warm & Natural. You may wish to use 2 layers of muslin, or flannel or a layer of felt, to give it that extra layer to where you don't have your stitchin' showing through. Tracin' Trace pattern onto top layer of muslin, using a Mark B Gone Pen. Stitchin' I use 2 strands of Dmc Floss for all my stitchin'. 1 strand if it is very small detailing. *NOTE*: If you are going to color in your stitchery, stitch detailed items such as eyes, noses, plaids on dresses, stars on flags & words on dresses after you have painted that specific area.
