SEWING<br />
Work the whole cross stitch project using 2<br />
strands of thread. Use 1 strand of thread for the<br />
backstitches. Make the stitches following the chart.<br />
MOUNTING<br />
Cut the excess fabric, starting from the ends of<br />
the embroidery area, 5cm to the left and right, and<br />
10cm up and down.<br />
CROSS STITTCH<br />
To make the point for the tassel, draw a horizontal<br />
line 10cm up from the bottom of the fabric. From<br />
the centre of the lower edge of the fabric, draw<br />
a diagonal line to each side of the outer edges. Cut<br />
away the extra material to form a point, leaving<br />
enough for a hem.<br />
3<br />
Sew a hem of about 1cm around the fabric.<br />
At the top, make the hanging pocket for the pole.<br />
Fold back as much material as you need to make<br />
sure the pole fits snugly inside and sew a straight<br />
seam across to join the top edge to the back of<br />
the wallhanging.<br />
