About the embroidery: The motif is embroidered with only one type of stitch, the backstitch. Follow the drawings in the pattern. We first embroider the outline around the figures, then we fill in with colors inside (fill stitches). The fill stitches should be as dense as possible to avoid the background color shining through. They can be advantageously overlapped. It is nice to vary the length of these stitches. NB! The expression will be most beautiful if you let the stitches follow the curves of the figures. This is to bring the figure to life. Use lots of stitches, both small and large.
