In order to embroider a divided design, hoop a thick tear-away stabilizer, secure the thick fabric on top using a special stitch and spray adhesive (since the design is quite dense and is intended for embroidery on dense, non-stretchy fabrics). First embroider its first part (IB 526-1), the last color in this part of the design is the joining crosses. After you have embroidered the first part, embroider the first color of the second part (these are the joining crosses) on a tear-away stabilizer that is hooped. Then combine the crosses of the first part of the design with the embroidered crosses of the second part and secure the fabric to the stabilizer. Next, you can repeat the stitching of the joining crosses to make sure they match. And continue embroidering the tree. Also in the folder you can find designs for pendants on which you can stick the initials of your relatives and sew them to the tree. The pendants are embroidered on a water-soluble stabilizer, then the stabilizer is washed out in warm water, the pieces are dried and can be straightened with an iron. After that, print out the initials in the size you need, cut them out and glue them to the pendant.
