FAQs

What is the finished size of the cushion?

The approximate finished size of the cushion cover is 40 x 40 cm.

Is the cushion pad included?

No, the cushion pad and backing fabric are not included in this kit. You will need to purchase these separately.

What type of stitch is used?

This kit exclusively uses the cross stitch technique.

What age is this kit suitable for?

This kit is suitable for ages 6 and up.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Due to third-party warehouse storage, please allow extra time for despatch if this item is included in your order.

Can I wash the finished cushion?

Yes, the finished cushion can be hand washed gently with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washing. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.

What are the dimensions of the canvas?

The canvas is a large hole cotton fabric with 18 holes per 10cm, which equates to approximately 4.5 stitches per inch.

Troubleshooting

Yarn tangling during use

Use shorter lengths of yarn (approx. 18 inches) to minimize tangling. If tangled, gently try to loosen knots rather than forcing them.

Difficulty seeing the canvas holes

Ensure you have adequate lighting. A bright, natural light source or a good lamp is recommended. For very low vision, consider a magnifier.

Stitching appears uneven

Ensure each stitch is consistently tensioned. Aim for uniform, neat stitches without pulling too tightly or leaving them too loose.

Ran out of a specific yarn color

Check the kit contents carefully; it's designed to be sufficient. If a genuine shortage occurs, contact customer support with the specific yarn color/code if available.
