Simple Beginner Instructions

If you’re new to embroidery, don’t worry! These basic stitches will help you bring your bunnies to life:

Transfer Your Pattern: Use a heat-transfer pen or water-soluble marker to trace your bunny design onto fabric.
Secure Your Fabric: Place your fabric in an embroidery hoop, making sure it’s taut but not stretched too tightly.
Start Stitching: Use backstitch for outlining, satin stitch to fill in areas, and French knots for little details like bunny eyes or floral accents.
Take Your Time: Embroidery is a relaxing craft, so go at your own pace and enjoy the process.
Finish & Display: Once your bunny is embroidered, remove fabric from the hoop, iron out any wrinkles, and frame or stitch onto a project of your choice.
