FAQs
What is the recommended age for this kit?
This kit is suitable for adults and experienced stitchers.
What tools are included in the kit?
The kit includes the fabric, threads, needle, full-color chart, and instructions.
What is Aida fabric?
Aida fabric is a type of fabric specifically made for cross-stitch. It has a distinctive open weave, making it easy to see the holes for stitching.
How do I care for the finished cross-stitch?
Gently wash the finished piece by hand in lukewarm water with mild soap. Lay flat to dry, then iron on low heat if needed.
Can I substitute the included threads?
While you can technically substitute threads, it's recommended to use the included threads for the best color matching and appearance of the final design.
What if I make a mistake?
Carefully remove the stitches using a seam ripper or a needle. Restitch the area, making sure to follow the chart accurately.
Troubleshooting
Running out of thread.
Carefully check your thread usage against the chart and purchase matching thread if needed. The kit may provide extra thread, so double-check the included quantities.
Difficulty following the chart.
Use a highlighter to mark off completed stitches on the chart. Consider using a magnifying glass or a needle minder to help with counting stitches.
Fabric fraying.
Use masking tape or fabric glue to secure the edges of the fabric while you stitch to prevent fraying. Use a hoop to keep the fabric taut.
