SWASHPOINT Embroidery Kit for Beginners | 3 Cross Stitch Kits with Embroidery Hoops and Embroidery Floss | Hand Drawn Embroidery Patterns | Needlepoint Kits and Crafts for Adults

This embroidery kit has been carefully designed and prepared to provide our customers with the best experience possible. This kit contains 3 embroidery patterns which will help you get accustomed to the 3 basic stitch techniques. Setting up the Embroidery Hoop 1) Loosen the metal screw to separate the hoops. 2) Place the inner hoop on a flat surface and place your embroidery fabric over it, making sure the pre-printed pattern is located in the center. 3) Press the outer frame on top of the embroidery fabric. If needed, further loosen the screws so you are not pushing too hard to get the outer ring in. 4) Tighten the screws to secure the two rings and fabric together. 5) Place the rings downwards on a clean flat surface and pull the fabric in evenly all directions so that the fabric is taut. 6) Tap the fabric – if it sounds like a drum, the fabric is now taut enough. 7) Tighten the screws again to ensure the fabric does not move. [NOTE] The fabric should not be left in the hoop for long periods of time to avoid stretching or color rings. If you think you will take a break for a while, if is recommended you take it out of the hoop and set it up again when you are ready to continue. Finishing Touches The pattern is pre-printed using soluble ink. It can be washed out by soaking in lukewarm water with soap (10-20 mins) and lightly rinsing it. It can be patted dry, left out to air dry then ironed with low heat if necessary. [NOTE] Please keep away from water and do not iron until you have completed the design as the pre-printed pattern will disappear. The finished pattern can be framed on the hoop, or used for various home décor, i.e. wall frames, cushions & pillows, etc. You can get creative with the paper copy pattern included and use it on different types of fabric with any color combination you like.
