Make beautiful hand stitched greeting cards with patterns from Form-A-Lines
Form-A-Lines supply patterns with step-by-step instructions for you to download to your computer. We also have tutorials with details of the materials you need to make the cards. These materials are usually available from local suppliers. See our introductory tutorial to get started.
Form-A-Lines Pattern Categories
Form-A-Lines patterns are designed to fit on a 104 x 152 mm (4.5 x 6 inches) card. They will also fit on A6 cards.
Pinbroidery Pattern Categories
Pinbroidary card stitching patterns were originally sold in their own online shop. In 2018 the Pinbroidery patterns moved here. The stitching technique for both Pinbroidery and Form-A-Lines patterns is identical. The first Pinbroidery patterns were designed to fit on square cards. Later, by popular demand, some of the designs were reconfigured to fit on rectangular cards.
Pinbroidery Square Patterns
Two pattern sizes are included: 144 x 144 mm (5.65 x 5.65 inches) and 120 x 120 mm (4.75 x 4.75 inches).
Pinbroidery Rectangle Patterns
The pattern size is 152 x 104 mm (6 x 4 inches).
