Troubleshooting
Running out of a specific thread color
Carefully inspect the pattern and your stitching to ensure no stitches were missed. If a color is genuinely depleted, contact the manufacturer for potential replacement thread information or find a very close DMC color match from your own supplies.
Stitches look uneven or messy
Ensure you are using consistent tension when making your stitches. Try to keep the cross stitches uniform in shape and direction. Using a needle threader can help maintain consistent thread length.
Difficulty reading the pattern
Ensure good lighting when viewing the pattern. If needed, consider printing a larger copy or using a magnifying glass.
