Try it on something that isn't super sentimental/valuable to you - a practice piece! I made a few mistakes on this one, my first go with tufting, but they don't even show in the final product. Now the next time I try it I'll know how to avoid the mistakes I've already made! Good luck! Oh - and the fabric was just plain white denim which I drew arrows on with a gold metallic marker!
