What is the recommended age for this kit?

How long will it take to dispatch my order?

Will the printed design remain after washing?

Is this kit suitable for complete beginners?

The difficulty level is described as moderately easy. While it includes a printed design, some prior experience with cross stitch or long stitch would be beneficial for beginners.

Troubleshooting

Thread tangling or knotting

Ensure you are using appropriate lengths of thread (approx. 18-24 inches) and not pulling too tightly. Separate threads as needed from the pre-sorted bundles.

Difficulty seeing the printed design after washing

Ensure all printed lines have been thoroughly washed out before ironing. If any faint lines remain, they are usually cosmetic and do not affect the stitching if you've followed the design chart correctly.

Stitches appearing uneven

Maintain consistent tension when making stitches. Ensure you are using the correct number of strands for each stitch type as indicated in the instructions. Double-check the stitch guide for proper technique.

Fabric fraying at the edges

The fabric has a hemmed inwoven border, which should prevent significant fraying. If minor fraying occurs, it can typically be trimmed carefully or secured with a small amount of fabric glue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack all components from the kit. Familiarize yourself with the provided instructions, front sheet picture, and the large-square design. Identify the pre-sorted cotton threads. The design is printed directly onto the ecru cotton fabric, which has a hemmed inwoven border.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use with the included threads and needle. The fabric is 100% cotton.

Care: Once stitching is complete, the printed design can be washed out. Follow standard hand-washing or gentle machine washing instructions for cotton tablecloths, using cool water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Iron on the reverse side at a medium setting. Store the finished tablecloth carefully to prevent damage.
