FAQs

What age is this kit suitable for?

This kit is suitable for ages 6 years and up, due to its easy difficulty level and simple cross stitch technique.

Does the kit include a cushion to put the draft excluder over?

No, the back cushion is sold separately. The kit provides the materials to create the cross stitch cover only.

What kind of stitches are used?

This kit exclusively uses the cross stitch technique.

How long will it take to complete?

Completion time varies based on individual crafting speed. However, its 'very easy' rating suggests it can be completed relatively quickly, possibly within a few days or a weekend for experienced crafters.

What are the finished dimensions of the draft excluder?

The approximate finished size is 80cm in width and 20cm in height (w/h).

What materials are included in the kit?

The kit includes hand-painted, large hole canvas fabric, thick acrylic yarn, a needle, an "I Stitch by Vervaco" DIY-label, a frontsheet picture, and instructions in 8 languages.

Why is dispatch taking longer than usual?

This specific product is stored in a third-party warehouse, which requires additional time for processing and dispatch.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is running out

Ensure you are using the correct stitch count and not wasting excess yarn. If a color is truly insufficient, contact the manufacturer for potential replacements, though this is rare with the generous yarn included.

Canvas is difficult to stitch through

Confirm you are using the correct needle provided in the kit. Ensure the needle is threaded correctly. If the canvas appears damaged, double-check for any pre-existing issues.

Stitches look uneven

Maintain consistent tension when pulling the yarn through the canvas. Try to make each stitch the same size and tightness. Refer to the instruction diagrams for correct stitch formation.

Difficulty understanding instructions

Refer to the instruction manual in your preferred language. Use the frontsheet picture as a visual guide for the overall design and color placement.
