For the cat, we recommend to use thin knit cloth with a suede like finish or cotton flannel.

Step One: Hoop a piece of fabric with a soft tear-away stabilizer. Embroider the first four colors. Change the threads in accordance with the color card.

Step Eight: Zig-zag the pumpkin onto a background fabric.
