8   Insert the needle threader through the small hole in the tip of the needle and thread the yarn through the loop of the needle threader. Now pull the yarn through the tip of the needle. The needle is now threaded.

Set the needle length to 5 (the longer the needle, the larger the loops)

9   Attach the embroidery fabric to the embroidery frame. Since the entire pattern cannot fit in the embroidery frame, start in each corner, as shown in the picture.
Once the fabric is pulled tight, you can start to punch needle.

Punch needle with a stitch length of approx. 2–3 mm, remembering to insert the needle all the way down every time. Start along the edge of each pattern and work towards the centre. Important: Leave 1.5 cm along the outer edge of the pattern for the embroidery seam allowance.

13   Cut out the middle of the embroidery at a distance of approx. 1.5 cm from the embroidered section for the seam allowance.

Now cut small notches in the embroidery seam allowance inwards towards the edge of the embroidery. Leave a gap of approx. 1 cm between each notch all the way around.

14   Fold in all the edges and attach them with a layer of glue. Allow the glue to dry.
