FAQs

What is the finished size of the design?

The finished design measures approximately 11.75 inches by 11.75 inches.

Are the instructions beginner-friendly?

While the instructions are easy to follow, the complexity of the portrait design is better suited for those with some prior cross-stitch experience.

How many colors of thread are provided?

The kit includes Anchor stranded cotton threads in 26 different vibrant colors.

What material is the fabric made of?

The kit uses Zweigart 14-count cocoa AIDA fabric, known for its high quality and consistency.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty distinguishing similar thread shades

Organize threads on a floss card labeled with the symbol provided in the color chart before beginning your project.

Fabric fraying at the edges

Apply a small amount of fray-check liquid or use masking tape on the edges of the AIDA fabric before starting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality Anchor threads provided
  • Sturdy Zweigart 14-count fabric base
  • Sophisticated portrait design
  • Everything included for immediate start
  • Professional finished dimensions

Cons

  • Not suitable for absolute beginners due to complexity
  • Requires significant time investment
  • Cocoa fabric color requires bright work light

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your workspace is well-lit to distinguish between the various thread colors. Before starting, you may want to oversew the raw edges of the AIDA fabric to prevent fraying. For long-term care, keep the finished piece away from direct sunlight to prevent thread fading. If the piece requires cleaning after completion, hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, roll in a towel to remove excess moisture, and air dry flat. Never machine wash or iron directly on the stitched surface.
