FAQs
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
The kit is categorized for an intermediate skill level, so while beginners can attempt it, it may require patience and utilization of the video tutorials.
Does the kit come with a pattern transfer tool?
No, the design is pre-printed directly onto the fabric base, so no transfer tool is necessary.
Can I wash the fabric after the design is finished?
Yes, it is recommended to hand wash gently in cool water with mild soap, but avoid vigorous scrubbing over the embroidered areas.
Where can I find the video tutorials?
The video tutorials are available on the official DMC website.
What is the diameter of the included hoop?
The embroidery hoop included in the kit measures 14.5cm.
Troubleshooting
Fabric tension is loose during stitching
Remove the fabric from the hoop, re-center it, and ensure the outer screw is tightened sufficiently to hold the fabric firmly.
Floss is tangling or knotting
Use shorter lengths of thread to prevent twisting, and periodically let the needle hang freely to allow the thread to untwist.
Needle is difficult to pull through the fabric
Ensure you are using the correct number of strands for the specific section of the pattern; using too many strands can cause resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your project, loosen the screw on the 14.5cm embroidery hoop and place the fabric over the smaller inner ring. Tighten the outer ring until the fabric is drum-tight. When working with the included Mouliné Spécial floss, use only the necessary number of strands as indicated in the pattern instructions. For maintenance, keep the finished embroidery away from direct sunlight to prevent thread fading. If the fabric requires cleaning, gently hand wash it in cool water with mild soap, avoiding the stitched areas as much as possible, and lay it flat to dry.
