🎨 Floss Color Disclaimer

As discussed in Do-It-Yourself Stitch People, every family portrait is entirely unique and so making floss color suggestions won't apply to every situation. I encourage you to utilize your own creativity and enjoy the process of color matching to photos to make selections appropriate to the families, memories, and scenes you choose to build with these patterns! You can do it!

Free Design Resources:

If you design by hand, don't forget to utilize our FREE Print-It-Yourself Design Journal, with different sizes of blank grids you can use to create your patterns, some of which are perfectly compatible with our Traceable Acrylic Character Templates.
