FAQs

What is included in the Permin Flowers & Butterflies Banner kit?

The kit includes high-quality fabric, a needle, and all the necessary yarn for the counted cross-stitch design. The pattern is also included.

What is the finished size of the banner?

The finished embroidered banner measures approximately 20 x 92 cm.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

While it is a complete kit, counted cross-stitch, especially on a large project, requires patience and attention to detail. It is best suited for those with some prior cross-stitching experience or ambitious beginners willing to learn.

How long does it typically take to complete this banner?

The time required can vary significantly based on the individual's stitching speed and the amount of time dedicated. Given its size, it is a substantial project that could take many weeks or months to complete.

Can I wash the finished banner?

Yes, the finished piece can be gently hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing. Lay flat to dry.

What kind of fabric is used?

The kit uses a high-quality fabric specifically chosen for counted cross-stitch, designed to accommodate precise stitching.

Where can I find more patterns from Permin?

Permin A/S offers a wide range of embroidery and cross-stitch kits and patterns. You can explore their collections on their official website or through authorized retailers.

Troubleshooting

Running out of a specific yarn color.

Carefully check if all provided yarn skeins have been used. If a color is insufficient for the remaining pattern, contact the manufacturer (Permin A/S) for potential replacement options or consider purchasing a similar DMC floss color if an exact match is unavailable.

Stitches appearing uneven or too loose.

Ensure consistent tension when pulling the needle through the fabric. Avoid pulling too tightly, which can pucker the fabric, or too loosely, which creates gaps. Practice on a small section to find the right tension.

Difficulty reading the counted pattern.

Use a good light source and consider using a magnifier. Mark off completed stitches with a water-soluble marker or a small pencil line on the pattern to keep track of progress and avoid errors.

Needle becomes difficult to thread.

Ensure the thread is not frayed. Trim the end of the yarn cleanly before attempting to thread the needle. If the yarn is a thicker type, consider using a needle threader.
