The words of this motto, Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot are actually the first lines of a poem by the Scottish poet Robert Burns which inspired the song Auld Lang Syne. The model was stitched on tea dyed white paper.

All of our mottoes are charted for stitching on perforated paper with traditional textured stitches, just as the Victorians stitched them, and for completing the design using Cross stitch only which can be worked on fabric and also paper.

We sell the threads for all of our motto designs even if they are not listed on this website. If you cannot find the threads locally please contact Dutch Treat directly.

Please note that pattern instructions that come with a kit will include instructions, threads, fabric, etc, ONLY for that specific kit item, and the instructions may not contain all of the options that are included if you separately buy just the chart of this title.

Please note that most colors of polyacrylic Anne Cloth, used in our Tabletopper designs, are no longer being made. Make sure you have the fabric you need to stitch this chart BEFORE you buy the chart!
