Troubleshooting
Thread running out before completion
Ensure you are using the correct number of strands as per the pattern instructions. If still short, consider purchasing additional skeins of the specific DMC or equivalent color codes listed in the chart.
Difficulty reading the chart
Use a bright light source and consider using a magnifying glass if needed. Ensure you are following the correct symbols for each color.
Fabric puckering or distortion
Make sure the fabric is kept evenly taut in an embroidery hoop or frame throughout the stitching process. Avoid pulling stitches too tightly.
Needle threading issues
Use a needle threader tool if you have difficulty threading the needle by hand. Ensure the thread is not frayed.

Care:
Once stitching is complete, gently hand wash the fabric in cool water with a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Rinse thoroughly and roll the fabric in a clean towel to remove excess water. Do not wring.
Lay flat on a clean surface to air dry, away from direct sunlight.
Iron the finished piece on the reverse side while slightly damp, using a cool to medium setting. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric for protection.
