FAQs

What age is this embroidery kit recommended for?

This kit is recommended for ages 15 and up due to its 'difficult' rating and the complexity of the stitches involved.

What are the dimensions of the finished table runner?

The approximate finished size is 40 x 100cm or 16 x 40 inches.

Do I need to buy any extra materials to complete this kit?

No, the kit includes pre-sorted cotton threads, a needle, white cotton fabric with a printed design, and instructions. You should have everything you need to get started.

What types of stitches are used in this kit?

The kit utilizes several embroidery stitches, including French knot, satin stitch, stem stitch, and back stitch.

Will the printed design show after I finish?

No, the printed design on the fabric is made to wash out once the embroidery is complete, leaving only your stitches visible.

Why might my order take longer to dispatch?

This product is stored in a third-party warehouse, which may result in a longer dispatch time compared to items stored directly.

Can I use different thread colors than those provided?

While you can technically use different colors, it is not recommended as the design is created with the provided color palette in mind. If you run out, try to match the provided colors as closely as possible.

Troubleshooting

Printed design did not wash out completely.

Ensure you used enough water and a mild detergent. You may need to gently rub the area with your fingers. If persistent, a very low heat iron on the reverse side might help fade residual lines, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Ran out of a specific thread color.

Compare the remaining thread with the color chart and consult a craft store for an exact match in embroidery floss. Note the type of cotton thread used for best results.

Difficulty creating specific stitches (e.g., French knot).

Refer to the detailed stitch diagrams in the instructions or look for online video tutorials demonstrating French knots, satin stitch, stem stitch, and back stitch. Practice on a scrap piece of fabric if available.

Fabric appears distorted after washing.

Ensure you laid the runner flat to dry and reshaped it carefully. Avoid stretching or wringing the fabric. Allow it to air dry completely before ironing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started:

  1. Unpack all components carefully, ensuring all threads, fabric, and the needle are present.
  2. Review the included instructions in your preferred language and study the large-square design chart.
  3. Identify the starting point on the fabric, often marked subtly or indicated by the design itself.

Compatibility:

  • This kit is designed for use with the included white cotton fabric and threads. Substituting materials is not recommended as the printed design is calibrated for the specific fabric.

Care Instructions:

  • Stitching: Use the provided needle and pre-sorted cotton threads. Learn and practice the specified stitches (French knot, satin stitch, stem stitch, back stitch) to achieve the intended look.
  • Washing: Once stitching is complete, the printed design will wash out. Hand wash the finished table runner gently in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Drying: Lay the table runner flat on a clean towel, reshaping it as needed. Do not wring or tumble dry.
  • Ironing: Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature, preferably while slightly damp, using a pressing cloth.
