    The instructions are incomplete. How do you put the deer on the felt?
    Please help.

    Hello hrqueen! You use waste canvas to stitch the little deer directly on to the felt – we've got a tutorial here, if you've never tried this technique before:

    Aw, that's adorable! (A-deer-able?) Nice work. I can't wait to stitch this little design, but I need to get my hands on some waste canvas...

    Thankyou Jenny :) I used soluble canvas as I found it easier to work with on felt.

    By soluble canvas do you mean the canvas that you pull the threads through afterwards?

    Soluble canvas usually means the type that dissolves in water – waste canvas is the kind where you pull the threads through. There's a little more info here:

    Hope that helps! :)
