One more thing, Don't cut the squares before you do the embroidery. I found that I could save a lot more fabric by cutting after I did it so I could use the block beside it to help hold it in place while embroidering. I hope I said that right. Just be sure you measure the distance between the blocks right. I screwed up the first one I did but then again I'm still learning. I told my hubbie he could use it for a jacket patch. LOL
