SCALING YOUR STITCH-OUTS
Each butterfly species included in this series will come in a variety of 3 wingspan
sizes: 3.5", 3", and 2.5". Due to the distinct shapes of some species, as well as
the overall variety, some butterflies will stitch out thinner or taller than others,
creating a lovely variation in the shapes and sizes you choose to embroider.
Utilize the smaller 2.5" or 3" butterflies for adding to picture frames or even
as accessories. The larger, 3.5" butterflies will work well for dimensional wall
installations or for larger works you are embellishing. Regardless of the butterflies
you stitch, all 100 designs in any of their 3 sizes should fit in a standard, 4x4
home embroidery hoop. Wilson notes that it is perfectly acceptable to stitch
more than one butterfly in a hooping if you are utilizing a larger embroidery
hoop, but their separate files will have to be merged on-screen manually.
