The DMC Summertime Dahlias Tapestry Kit (C138K) is designed for craft enthusiasts of all skill levels who want to create a professional-quality botanical textile piece. Featuring an original floral design by artist Abi Skinner, this kit provides a satisfying tactile experience and a beautiful finished piece of home decor. While the kit includes all essential materials for completion, users should be prepared to source their own frame separately once the project is finished.

While the kit is beginner-friendly, it involves the use of sharp needles and should be used under adult supervision for younger crafters.
Any standard 20 x 21cm frame will work, or you can use a mounting board to frame it as a piece of art.
No, the kit does not include an embroidery or tapestry hoop. While not strictly necessary, many users prefer using one to keep the fabric taut.
It is not recommended to wash the tapestry. If it gets dusty, use a soft, dry cloth or a gentle duster.
You can access the DMC online library through their official website, where they provide diagrams and tutorials for common stitches.
Use a standard needle threader or trim the thread end at a sharp 45-degree angle to make insertion easier.
Work with shorter lengths of thread (roughly 30-40cm) and let the needle hang freely every few stitches to allow the thread to untwist.
Ensure you are not pulling your stitches too tight; use a frame or hoop to keep the canvas tension uniform.
To begin, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace to prevent staining the canvas. Organize your threads by color before you begin stitching to avoid confusion. If you are a beginner, it is highly recommended to view the DMC online video tutorials before threading your needle to familiarize yourself with the recommended stitch tension. Once finished, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the canvas (if necessary) to flatten it before framing. Avoid washing the finished tapestry, as moisture can alter the tension of the stitched threads; dusting with a soft, dry brush is sufficient for routine care.
