       A Note About Colors

      For the projects in this book, general colors are given along with brand-specific color numbers. These numbers are suggested colors only; the generic color names preceding them are a guide for what to look for if you are using a different brand or can’t find the specific suggested color, not the actual name associated with the color number given. Use what works for you!

Protect your work in progress by pinning a clean handkerchief over the embroidery, then store the frame
