Quilt Cross - Style 1 - Gift Card Embroidery Pattern
Quilt Cross - Style 1 - Gift Card Embroidery Pattern
This is for a PHYSICAL Pattern sheet and instructions only.
To complete this design, you will need the following:
Pricking Tool - this can be a ball headed pin, hat pin or a specialised Single Needle Perforating Tool
Pricking Mat - this can be a thick piece of dense foam or felt. It should allow for easy entry of the Pricking Tool whilst keeping the card flat
A Fine Needle - this should be no larger than a Number 10 Embroidery Needle, the larger the needle the larger the pricked holes will be from stitching through them. (If comfortable using sharp needles I recommend a Fine Beading Needle)
Adhesive Tape - Matte-finish, invisible tape such as Scotch Magic Tape is recommended
Scissors
A selection of Threads - eg. Embroidery Floss, Metallic Threads, etc
-
Tri-Fold Greeting Card Blank (ie. single piece of card folded in three, is also sometimes referred to as a Bi-Fold card)
OR
-
Greeting Card Blank (ie. single piece of card folded in two) with extra card for insets
OR
-
Greeting Card Blank (ie single piece of card folded in two) with extra paper to hide stitching.
NB. Card should be 180-300gsm. When folded it should fit into a standard Greeting Card Envelope (eg. C6 - 114 x 162cm or A6 - 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches)
OPTIONAL ITEMS:
Double-sided Tape or Glue - to seal back of card/attach insert etc
Beads, Sequins and other embellishments - if wanted/required
Beading Needle - if using bead embellishments
Corner Punches - for Inset Card Designs
Ruler - to help prick holes in a straight line where necessary
PLEASE NOTE: This pattern includes a pricking template in 2 different sizes:
The smaller pricking template is for Inset Cards. This is where you cut out the pattern and stick it to the front of a Standard Greeting Card Black.
The larger pricking template is for a Standard Greeting Card (approx 10.5 x 14.8cm or approx 4.2 x 6 inches when folded). These are ideal for use with Tri- Fold Greeting Cards. If using the larger diagram on a Standard Greeting Card Blank, you will need to stick something over the back of (inside of) the card to hide the stitches.
