How I start my embroidered cards

It starts with a design, a printout or something I drew.
Then, using an awl and foam/a towel/scrap of carpeting, to set my paper on, I punch holes to sew my design. A lot of people ask how I know where to put the holes, that is something I can't answer.  I see the finished work in my head and it come I work from that.  If you are trying to make embroidered cards try to look at it like a dot to dot. Connect the dots to make your picture. Just remember not to put your holes to close together or your paper could rip.
