This is also where the mini ruler comes in. Depending on the size snowflake you are stitching you might want to adjust the stitch count and length. Continue stitching until you reach the end of the line.įor this size snowflake, I am using five stitches on each line – three below the slanted V and two above. Using back stitch, make a single stitch along the first line. For this size snowflake, I’m using 4 strands of DMC floss. The bright red (DMC 321) will create the long lines while the pale blue (DMC 775) is used for the short, diagonal lines. For this snowflake, I’ve chosen to use two contrasting colors of embroidery floss.
