Zigzag pouch Paola Zucchetti Make sure that the measurements for your design are accurate as this will help to make your zigzag pattern both neat and uniform. Monk’s cloth is a coarse fabric usually made out of cotton or linen. It is frequently used in cross stitch, embroidery and punch needle projects. You will need to attach your fabric to a frame. To do this you can use a staple gun but it can be difficult to remove the staples when finished. I suggest you use flat head tacks, which are easy to insert and remove. When attaching the fabric to the frame, pull all four sides of the fabric really taut and tack in place all the way round. YOU WILL NEED THREADS: Anchor Tapisserie Wool • Monk’s cloth or other cotton fabric, 13 x 13cm • Wooden frame 25 x 25cm • Water soluble pen or pencil • Ruler • Punch needle size 10 • Canvas for backing panel, 13 x 13cm • Lining fabric, such as cotton or linen, 34.5 x 34.5cm • Cotton thread for the lining fabric • Zip 20cm long • PVA glue and brush • Scissors • Sewing machine with zipper foot 08000 x2 08362 x1 08012 x2 08544 x1 08258 x2 08914 x3 STITCHES Flat stitch (see Stitch Library page 148) Loop stitch (see Stitch Library page 148) 44 Stitch Life
