Zweigart Sandstone #18 mono canvas, cut 9” by 18” (22.5 by 45cm) was used for the framed picture. Brown canvas is also lovely. 18 count Wichelt natural brown linen was used for the bellpull, also cut 9” by 18.” Do not substitute 36-count linen as this sampler is designed to be worked over one thread, and the ribbons and pearls will be too large in proportion to the stitches on a finer count fabric.
“Invisible” clear nylon sewing thread (optional but highly recommended to attach the pearls and beads without showing through the open canvas).
*An embellishment pack of beads, pearls and ribbons is available and can be customized.
