Welcome to Part 1 of Twinkle, Twinkle, a Stitch Snippet stitch-along here on Needle ‘n Thread, where we will explore together how to create a very pretty Christmas Star ornament.

The stitch-along will be published here on the blog in installments. Unfortunately, we are sold out of materials kits, but of course, you can source your own materials or make substitutions if you want to follow along.

And even if you don’t want to make the ornament itself, you can certainly follow along for stitching tips that you can use in any of your own embroidery projects!

If you’re a member of the Needle ‘n Thread Community on Patreon, you have already received this installment, plus the next one (with the first stitches), all in one PDF.

Today, we’ll talk tools and materials, design and set-up.
