A method of stitching a pattern on fabric employing a piece of interwoven netting having rows of square holes and the desired pattern printed thereon. The netting is attached to the fabric so that the pattern on the netting directly overlies the area on the fabric where the pattern is to be reproduced. The pattern is then stitched onto the fabric using a needle and embroidery threads. The stitch that is used is a cross-stitch wherein the thread is pushed up from the inside surface of the fabric and through the center of a hole in one row of the netting and then crossed over an intersection of the netting on a 45.degree. angle to the threads forming the netting. The thread is then pulled down through a hole in an adjacent row and through the fabric. Upon completion of the stitched pattern, the netting is removed by drawing out the threads thereof one strand at a time. A kit is also provided to enable one to carry out this method.
