Troubleshooting

Difficulty threading the needle

Ensure the thread is not too thick or frayed. For stranded cotton, separate the strands to the required number before threading.

Running out of a specific thread color

While kits usually provide ample thread, count your stitches carefully. If you suspect an error or shortage, contact the manufacturer with your kit details.

Uneven or loose stitches

Ensure the fabric is held taut in the hoop. Practice making consistent stitches, ensuring each stitch lies flat and is of similar tension.

Chart is difficult to read

Ensure good lighting. If necessary, you can photocopy the chart and enlarge it, or use a magnifying glass. Consider using a needle threader if visibility is a persistent issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Secure the Aida fabric in the provided hoop, ensuring it is taut.
Refer to the charted design and front sheet picture for guidance.
Thread the needle with the appropriate colored cotton thread as indicated.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed to be used with the included materials. While experienced stitchers may experiment, using different fabric counts or thread types may alter the intended look and feel of the design.

Care:

Fabric: The finished cross-stitch piece can be gently hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or harsh scrubbing.
Drying: Lay the damp fabric flat on a clean towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Allow it to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat.
Ironing: Iron the finished piece on the reverse side while it is still slightly damp, using a low heat setting. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric for added protection.
