The project primarily uses cross stitch and back stitch.
No, the hoop is not included and must be purchased separately.
The approximate size of each finished bookmark is 6 x 20cm or 2.4 x 8 inches.
Yes, it is suitable for beginners as the techniques involved are basic and the instructions are detailed.
The instructions are included in eight different languages.
The kit includes 14-count white Aida fabric.
Ensure you are using the correct number of strands as indicated in the instructions, as using too many will deplete your supply faster.
Work under a bright, directional light source or use a magnifying glass to clearly identify the holes in the 14-count fabric.
Apply a small amount of liquid fray preventer or use a sewing machine to edge-stitch the fabric before you begin.
Before you begin, it is recommended to secure the edges of the Aida fabric with masking tape or a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying during the stitching process. While the kit provides the needle and thread, consider using a small embroidery hoop (not included) to maintain optimal fabric tension while you work. Once the embroidery is complete, gently hand wash the bookmarks in cool water with a mild detergent to remove any oils or debris from handling. Lay them flat to dry on a clean towel, and iron on the reverse side using a low heat setting to remove any wrinkles before finishing the edges.
