Yes, it is recommended to hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Dry flat away from direct sunlight.

Absolutely. The finished size of 23 x 29 cm is ideal for framing and displaying as a piece of art.
Threads are typically provided as skeins, meaning you will need to cut them to the desired working length yourself. This allows for flexibility in managing your threads.
Use shorter lengths of thread (approx. 18 inches or 50 cm) and gently guide the thread without pulling too tightly. If a knot forms, carefully try to loosen it by working backward or re-threading.
Ensure you are working in good light. If the printed pattern is unclear, try using a magnifying glass or a light box. Double-check the symbols against the provided key.
Carefully unpick the incorrect stitches using a needle or seam ripper. Refer back to the pattern and count your stitches meticulously before re-stitching.
You can prevent fraying by lightly zigzag stitching or serging the edges of the fabric before you begin, or by using pinking shears if available.
Setup: Begin by carefully unfolding the fabric and identifying the starting point as indicated in the instructions. Ensure you have good lighting and a comfortable workspace. Separate the embroidery threads as needed, following the color guide provided.
Compatibility: This kit is a self-contained product and does not require additional software or hardware. It is compatible with standard embroidery hoops (though one may or may not be included, check kit contents) and framing services.
Care: Once the cross-stitch is completed, it is recommended to gently hand wash the fabric in cool water with a mild detergent if it becomes soiled. Avoid harsh scrubbing. After washing, lay it flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight, to dry. Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature if necessary, preferably while slightly damp, using a pressing cloth for protection.
