Yes. We focus on clear symbols, organized charts, and minimizing unnecessary confetti stitches wherever possible.

Confetti refers to isolated stitches of different colors scattered throughout a design. Our charts are designed to reduce excessive confetti where possible, making stitching more enjoyable.

We include 30–60% extra threads beyond what the kit requires. Be sure to separate the threads into sets of 2 strands before starting your cross stitching. Using 3 strands or the entire thread may result in not having enough for the entire design. If you prefer to stitch with 3 strands, please contact us to arrange for additional threads.

All of our designs are Counted Cross Stitch, not stamped, so you will need to refer to the chart and stitch on a blank Aida fabric.

As a fun optional bonus, we include approximately 3-6 metres of shimmering Kreinik thread with your kit. The colour is carefully selected to complement one of the colours in your design.

Once you've completed the regular stitching, you can add the Kreinik thread over selected stitches to create beautiful sparkling effects. Use it to highlight details, add accents, outline elements, or bring extra dimension to your finished piece.

There are no strict rules, this is where your creativity can shine. Make it as subtle or as sparkly as you like!
