When you get your project home, wash your hands before you open the package. Open your supplies and lay it out. Look at the instructions on your project to see if there are any special things of note. Get your floss and your sorter. Most instructions tell how many strands of each color are included in the kit. This is extremely helpful if you get started on a larger project with many colors. Sort your colors and put them into the floss sorter. I usually write the name of the color for ease of finding the color when you start to stitch. Some instructions will tell you to cut the strands in half. This is only necessary if they are extremely long.
You will begin by finding the center of the pattern and on the fabric. See which color goes in the 4 squares around the middle of the pattern. This will give you a starting point to count from. Add your stitches.
I still don't have a small project to share with you, but will have one soon.
