Print your pattern

In the print dialog, set Scale to 100%. It's called “Actual size” in some browsers. Turn off “Fit to page”, or the holes won't line up.

How to use Wrought

Design lettering over a photo, print the holes at true size, then stitch it by hand.

Make it

  1. Print the photo at the size the template shows and stick it to heavy cardstock (250gsm or more).
  2. Tape the template on top and poke each dot through with a seam ripper (with cardboard underneath!).
  3. Stitch, following the chart.

A suggestion to start with: 9 stitches per inch with 3 strands of floss.
