FAQs
What age is this craft kit suitable for?
This kit is recommended for ages 8 and up, with adult supervision advised for younger crafters due to the use of a needle.
Do I need to cut out the felt pieces myself?
No, the felt pieces are pre-cut for your convenience, making the initial steps much easier.
What are the dimensions of the finished cow?
The finished Highland Cow hanging decoration measures approximately 10cm.
What additional tools are required?
You will need a pair of sharp scissors. A ruler or measuring tape might be helpful for precise placement, though not strictly necessary.
What kind of thread is included?
The kit includes DMC embroidery threads, known for their quality and colourfastness.
Can I wash the finished decoration?
It is best to spot clean the decoration with a damp cloth. Avoid washing it in a machine or submerging it in water.
Where are the materials made?
All materials are made in Britain.
Troubleshooting
Stitching looks uneven
Ensure you are using consistent stitch lengths and tension. Practice on a scrap piece of felt if available, or focus on maintaining a steady hand.
Difficulty threading the needle
Moisten the end of the embroidery thread slightly or use a needle threader if you have one. Trim the thread end cleanly.
Filling is clumpy
Gently tease apart the toy filling to make it fluffy before inserting it into the cow. Stuff gradually and evenly to avoid lumps.
Decoration does not hold its shape
Ensure all seams are securely stitched. Add a bit more filling, distributing it evenly to provide structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
