To begin cut an arm's length of pink thread and separate 4 of the six strands by untwisting the thread (if you are new to embroidery and have not done this before you will find more instructions in our beginner's embroidery guide).

Thread your needle with the 4 strands and tie a knot in the other end.

Now begin to stitch at at the start of the lettering push your needle through one of the pre-made holes and continue to stitch through the holes using a simple back stitch (click here for a guide to back stitch).
