Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components from the kit.
- Identify the Aida fabric, threads (often sorted by color number), needle, and chart.
- Refer to the color chart and instructions to understand the stitching pattern and thread usage.
- Begin stitching by threading the needle with the appropriate color and following the chart.
Compatibility:
This kit is a self-contained project. All components are designed to work together. No additional materials are strictly required for completion, although experienced stitchers might prefer using a hoop or frame for better tension control.
Care:
Once completed, the cross-stitch piece can be gently hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing. After washing, lay it flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight, and roll it gently to remove excess water. Press the piece from the reverse side on a soft surface (like a towel) using a cool iron setting. Framing is recommended to preserve the finished work.
