FAQs
What is the finished size of the embroidery?
The finished embroidery measures 20 cm in diameter.
Does the kit include an embroidery hoop?
No, the kit includes the fabric, needle, and yarn. An embroidery hoop is recommended for easier stitching but is not included.
What skill level is this kit for?
This kit is suitable for beginner to intermediate crafters. The counted cross-stitch pattern provides clear guidance.
How many strands of thread should I use for stitching?
Refer to the pattern instructions included with the kit. Typically, counted cross-stitch uses 2-3 strands of embroidery floss.
Can I wash the finished embroidery?
Yes, the finished piece can be gently hand-washed in cool water with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Press lightly after drying.
Where can I find more supplies if needed?
The kit provides all necessary materials for the specified design. If you wish to create additional projects or need more thread, you can look for embroidery floss in similar colors at craft stores or online retailers.
Troubleshooting
Running out of a specific thread color
Double-check that you are using the correct thread count and strand number as per the pattern instructions. If you have indeed used more than allocated, consider purchasing a similar DMC or Anchor thread color if available.
Stitches look uneven or loose
Ensure the fabric is kept taut using an embroidery hoop. Try to maintain consistent tension on the thread as you stitch. Avoid pulling the thread too tightly, which can distort the fabric.
Difficulty threading the needle
Cut the embroidery yarn cleanly at the end. If the yarn frays, moisten the very tip slightly or use a threader tool (often sold separately).
