Keep the iron moving in circles β never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.
Fuzzy look? Iron slightly less on the pegboard side, then texture with a towel while still warm.
Colors & Technique: Alphabet Blocks
At 16384 beads and 8 colors, the Alphabet Blocks chart sits in the XL-tier of our letters collection β substantial enough to reward careful color placement, still small enough to finish in one 6-12-minute session. The palette runs from Dark Blue through Green, and the pattern page's color list doubles as a shopping check: every shade is named with its exact bead count, so you can confirm your stash covers the teal dominant zones before committing.
Where It Shines
Think of the Alphabet Blocks chart as a 6-12-minute project with a display payoff: the 128Γ128 grid, 16384 beads and 8-color palette produce a piece with enough presence for a desk or shelf on its own. The teal zones photograph well under warm light β worth remembering if you share makes on social media. Pair with simpler letters charts when teaching kids or running a craft night; mixed difficulty keeps a group engaged.

Ironing Tips
- π‘Medium heat only β too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- π‘Keep the iron moving in slow circles β staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
