Troubleshooting
Yarn tangling during stitching
Use shorter lengths of yarn (about 18-24 inches) to prevent tangles. Comb through the yarn gently if it becomes knotted.
Difficulty following the chart
Ensure you are looking at the correct orientation of the chart and matching the symbols to the corresponding yarn colors. Consider using a magnifying glass if needed.
Finished cover not fitting the tissue box properly
Double-check that all stitches were completed accurately according to the pattern and that the canvas was not stretched or distorted during the process. Ensure you used the correct size canvas holes.
Needle is difficult to thread
Trim the end of the yarn cleanly. You can lightly twist the yarn strands together or use a needle threader if one was provided or is available.
