Should I wash the fabric on my Bucilla Baby project before starting to stitch?

No. The design on your Bucilla Baby project has been stamped on the fabric with a wash-out ink.

How can I keep my blending filaments from fraying when I embroider a satin stitch?

Drag the filament through beeswax before stitching, and then launder as instructed to remove the wax from the piece.

Do you have any tips for determining the different colors of floss that come in the Bucilla kits?

The best way is to lay all of the strands out from light to dark. The instructional chart included in your kit will tell you how many yards of each color are in the kit so be sure the check the yardage when determining colors.

How do I determine how many strands of each color I will need for each stitch in my Bucilla needlecraft project?
