Stitching tips
- Stitch the light Kelly Green half of each tier first, then fill the darker right side. The diagonal line between them is your guide.
- Leave the ornaments for last. They are single stitches, so it is easier to place them once the greens are in.
- On 14-count Aida the tree fits a 4-inch hoop with room to spare.
