Hi, first time trying Sashiko. I bought this kit on Amazon and I’m confused on how this is supposed to be folded. Does this mean the instructions are on the back of the grid/design since if I fold it in half with the pattern on top, the instructions would be on the back? I tried translating the Japanese and still confused. Since the instructions seem different from the English ones?

Mended my dog bed cover (thrifted brown cribsheet) with 3 different patterns. I'd never attempted the seed stitch before, I don't like it in red but my other colors were hiding from me, so red it was. I can see my basting stitches are still left behind on my crosses & my circle design šŸ˜‚. I used some old jeans for the patches. Anyway, far from perfect but still happy with it. So much easier to shake the cover & wash it rather than having to take apart the dog bed so much.
