FAQs
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Yes, it is suitable for beginners, though it does require patience as it is a counted cross stitch project rather than a stamped one.
What is the size of the finished chart?
The approximate finished size is 18 x 70cm, or 7.2 x 28in.
Does the kit include an embroidery hoop?
No, the kit includes the fabric, threads, needle, and instructions, but you must provide your own embroidery hoop.
How many languages are the instructions in?
The instructions are provided in 8 languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Swedish.
Can I wash the finished height chart?
Yes, it can be hand-washed in lukewarm water with a mild detergent; avoid wringing or machine washing.
Troubleshooting
Running out of thread
Ensure you are using the correct number of strands as specified in the instructions; if you still run short, keep a thread sample to match the shade at a craft store.
Fabric fraying during the process
Apply a small amount of fray-check liquid to the edges or use masking tape to secure the perimeter of the aida cloth.
Stitches look uneven or messy
Ensure you are using an embroidery hoop to keep the fabric tension consistent across the entire project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, wash your hands to prevent transferring oils to the fabric. Secure the edges of the aida fabric with masking tape or a zig-zag stitch to prevent fraying during the long-term stitching process. While the kit provides the necessary materials, you will need to provide your own embroidery hoop or frame to keep the fabric taut. Once completed, store the height chart away from direct sunlight to prevent thread fading. To clean the finished piece, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent and lay flat to dry; avoid wringing the fabric, as this may distort the stitches.
