Do I need any extra supplies?

Is this kit suitable for beginners?
While the kit is suitable for intermediate to advanced stitchers, beginners with some prior experience can certainly attempt this kit, by starting with small sections and familiarizing themselves with the process.
Troubleshooting
Threads are tangling
Use shorter thread lengths. Consider using a thread conditioner to reduce friction. Avoid pulling the thread too tightly.
Difficulty following the color chart
Use a highlighter or sticky notes to mark your progress. Focus on small sections at a time.
