❓ FAQ

Is the pattern printed on the fabric? No. The Aida fabric is blank — you stitch from the included colour accented symbol chart.

What is the difference between counted and stamped cross stitch? In counted cross stitch the fabric is plain and you follow a chart to place each stitch. Stamped cross stitch has the pattern printed directly on the fabric. This kit is counted.
