Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is an embroidery hoop included?
The kit includes the design chart, threads, and fabric, but typically requires a separate purchase of a hoop if you do not already own one.
What skill level is required for this kit?
This is a counted cross stitch kit, which is generally recommended for those comfortable with following a grid chart.
Can I wash the finished product?
It is generally recommended to avoid washing. If cleaning is necessary, consult a professional framer or use cold water with mild detergent, avoiding any rubbing or agitation.
Are the instructions in multiple languages?
Riolis kits typically feature universal symbols that make the pattern readable regardless of your primary language.
What should I do if I run out of a specific thread color?
Ensure you are using the correct number of strands as indicated in the instructions to prevent thread depletion.
Troubleshooting
Thread knots while stitching
Use shorter lengths of thread and let the needle hang freely periodically to untwist the strands.
Difficulty reading the pattern chart
Use a highlighter to mark off rows as you complete them to maintain your place.
Fabric fraying at the edges
Apply a small amount of masking tape or a zig-zag stitch along the edges of the fabric before beginning your project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace and a comfortable embroidery hoop to keep your fabric taut. Before starting, wash your hands to avoid oils transferring to the fabric. Compatibility is high with standard embroidery needles, though you should use the ones provided in the kit to ensure the best fit for the thread weight. For care, store your finished project away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the thread colors over time. If the piece becomes dusty, a gentle tap or the use of a soft, clean brush is recommended rather than washing the finished work.
