Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping track of stitch count
Use a highlighter on your paper pattern to mark off completed rows or sections as you go.

Fabric fraying at the edges

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean workspace with adequate lighting. It is recommended to use an embroidery hoop to keep the fabric taut during the stitching process. When handling the finished piece, avoid excessive direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If the final work requires cleaning, it should be hand-washed gently in cool water with a mild detergent and laid flat to dry. Do not iron directly on the stitching; instead, iron from the reverse side on a low heat setting to protect the embroidery work.
