49 Diagrams and Instructions

PLEASE NOTE:
The designs in this book were embroidered on Lecien brand linen
or cross-stitch fabric, using Cosmo brand embroidery floss, but you
can substitute your own favorite fabrics and floss brands. Be sure to
adjust your strand count to suit the thickness and texture of your
fabric if necessary.

See the inside back cover for a chart converting Cosmo brand floss
colors to DMC, a popular brand found in most U.S. craft and fabric shops.
