To begin, prepare your palette. Pick your two preferred colors.
Since we’re painting on fabric, we’ll first need to prepare our
paint. Follow the directions of your textile medium to mix it with
the paint, so it will adhere to your fabric.
Prepare your “canvas.” Hoop a layer of tear-away stabilizer and
white cotton.
NOTE: We are stitching out the A size of PP1. Pay attention to the
dimensions of the design you choose to know what hoop size to use.

Begin painting your fabric. Use more paint and less water in some
areas, and less paint and more water in other areas to create depth
and splotches of color. Paint the entire area within your hoop so that
all the edges of your design will be painted.
Once you’re happy with your painting, wait for it to completely dry.
NOTE: It doesn’t have to be perfect! The design that you’ll be
stitching onto the painting will cover up a large area of it.
