Step One

Use the guiding stitches to help you lay your stitches in the correct direction and size. Trace the stitches shown on your material. 

Step Two

Once the guiding stitches have been traced, continue stitching back and forth filling in around the stitches until the area/color block is complete.

Continue to work back and forth until your color block is completely filled in; making sure to overlap each row of stitches into each other.
