What are the dimensions of the finished project?

The finished piece measures approximately 29 x 33cm (11.6 x 13.2in).

Do I need to buy additional thread?

No, the kit includes pre-sorted stranded cotton threads specifically measured to complete the Leopard Duo design.

Is the fabric printed or do I count the stitches?

This is a counted cross stitch kit, meaning you will follow the provided chart to count and place your stitches on the plain white Aida fabric.

Does the kit come with a frame?

Can I use the included instructions if I only speak English?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty distinguishing between similar thread colors

Work in a well-lit area, preferably under daylight-balanced artificial lighting to see true color variations.

Fabric fraying at the edges during stitching

Apply a small amount of masking tape or a zig-zag stitch along the fabric edges before starting your project.

Needle snagging on the Aida fabric

Ensure you are using the included tapestry needle, which has a blunt tip designed specifically to pass through the Aida weave without splitting the fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters
  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary supplies
  • High-quality, pre-sorted materials ensure a professional finish
  • Clear, large-square chart for easier pattern following

Cons

  • Requires careful counting, which can be challenging for absolute novices

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, mount the Aida fabric in an embroidery hoop, ensuring the grain is straight. Always wash your hands before starting to keep the white fabric clean. For maintenance, once your masterpiece is finished, gently hand wash it in cool water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and roll it in a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Allow it to air dry flat away from direct sunlight, and iron on the reverse side using a low temperature to remove any creases without damaging the stitches.
