Dropcloth Sampler - Milky Way

Dropcloth Samplers are designed by US based textile artist Rebecca Ringquist. A dropcloth is something that you can get messy, without worrying about making mistakes. 

The Milky Way Sampler is a freestyle sampler and can be worked in your own colour palette and stitch choice; the image shown uses mainly back stitch, running stitch and French Knots, but feel free to improvise!  This is a great way to learn new stitches or brush up on rusty embroidery skills.  

Includes one sampler, printed in black and white with a partially coloured background.  Diameter of printed area approx 16 cm.

Needles and thread are not included but you can use any perle cotton, six strand floss or whatever you like! For best results, we recommend backing this fabric with a second piece of fabric (cotton or linen) before placing your fabric in the hoop. You'll get the flattest, most even stitches this way.
