Inspired by other Flosstubers, a few months ago, I created a booklet Stitchy Tracker, which I showed in a recent video.  I have gotten positive feedback and requests to share the files, so I am posting them here:


Basic instructions

Pages for printing:

I am planning to do a tutorial video once I've returned from my trip to Wisconsin. (should be posted sometime in August)

UPDATE: Video tutorial completed... you can find it here.


If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.   Happy Stitching!
