You will need :

embroidery threads either polyester or rayon - either use our colors or choose them to your taste,
duck cloth, we chose white, but it can be of any color,
medium-weight cut-away embroidery stabilizer,
any trims as additional embellishments (we chose large rick-rack),
quilter's ruler and rotary cutter, or scissors,
iron,
#12-14 universal needle,
a piece of plastic mesh or thin cardboard, measuring about 9 1/2" x 10 1/2", for additional stability of the sign,

Embroidery:

Stabilize the canvas with medium-weight cut-away stabilizer. Choose 2 slogans from the Kitchen Slogan Set.
Embroider the designs one by one.
