*Please read the whole of this description before purchasing*

You are purchasing a PDF document which you will be able to download after purchase. The file size is approximately 4 MB, so please make sure that you have space to receive it before placing an order. I would advise against trying to download the templates on a phone or tablet - for best results please download to a laptop, Mac, or desktop computer.

After purchase, you will receive an email from Pulley, the automated service that provides a link that takes you to where you can download the PDF. The email will go to the address that you used to place the order, so please check any alternative email addresses that you use. Please check your junk or spam folder as the email can sometimes end up there.
Please SAVE THE PDF to your device before attempting to print it. You can only download it twice, so if you try to print an unsaved document and the print fails, you may then lose access to the PDF. If you save it first, you can consult and print it infinitely. If you have problems accessing the PDF, please contact me so that I can email the PDF to you.

This is the template that I used for my 2022 stitch journal (please see my blog for more information about the stitch journal, stitchinglife.uk) and I've created this PDF so that you can make something similar. This is an 11-page A4-size PDF containing three templates for months of various lengths, plus 8 pages of photos and brief notes suggesting some ways you could use some basic hand embroidery stitches to fill the daily sections. The monthly blocks are all in the grid formation but of course you can adapt or amend the templates in whatever way you wish.

Please note, I do not explain in this document how to work the stitches, nor do I tell you what stitches to use. This is just a template, not a kit. If you are an absolute beginner and need to know how to do (for example) running stitch or couching, you will first need to refer to one of the many embroidery books or online videos and tutorials that talk you through getting started. You might also consider signing up for my online course, Intuitive Daily Stitching - please visit my blog and see the 'links' page tab for more information about that.

The PDF is designed to be printed on A4 paper. If you need to print on letter size paper (8.5" x 11"), then it should still fit (please ensure your printer is set to 'fill page' or 'print at actual size' - use the preview function to check, if necessary). If you have any problems with the download please use the contact form to let me know. The printed templates may need some very slight tweaking to make them tessellate, but this is minimal.
