Are the colors on the fabric permanent?

Troubleshooting

Fabric tension becomes loose during stitching

Stop, loosen the hoop screw slightly, pull the fabric edges taut again, and re-tighten the screw firmly.

Thread tangling while stitching

Use shorter lengths of thread (roughly 45cm) and let the needle hang freely periodically to untwist the strands.

Confused by a specific stitch

Refer to the DMC online video tutorials associated with this specific kit for a slow-motion demonstration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality DMC Mouliné Spécial threads included
  • Pre-printed fabric removes the need for transferring patterns
  • Complete kit includes hoop and needle for immediate setup
  • Digital video tutorial support adds value for visual learners

Cons

  • Intermediate skill level may be challenging for total beginners
  • The 14.5cm hoop size is non-adjustable for larger projects
  • Requires specific knowledge of seven different stitch types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, loosen the tension screw on the 14.5cm hoop, place the fabric over the inner ring, and secure the outer ring over it. Tighten the screw until the fabric is taut like a drum. Always use the provided needle to prevent damage to the pre-printed fabric. When finished, keep the embroidery away from direct sunlight to prevent thread fading. If the fabric needs cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water, gently blotting the area without rubbing the stitched sections. Ensure the piece is completely dry before hanging it in your chosen frame.
