5 EASY STEPS TO CREATE YOUR MASTERPIECE:

Step 1. Click the "Choose Image" button to begin looking for the image you'd like to use. We accept all image qualities, but to get the very best results, choose an image with lots of colour, which is non-pixelated. 

Step 2. Select your desired size. The bigger the canvas size, the less detail is lost, so we highly recommend you choose a larger size (at least 40cm across) to guarantee the best result. Please note that we will select landscape or portrait depending on the image that you upload (unless you specify otherwise).

Step 3. Now select the number of threads you would like. The more you select, the greater detail of the painting. If you're uploading an image with lots of detail and shades, it's best to choose a higher number of threads! Then, select your thread type, based off your preference.

Step 4. Verify your image is uploaded correctly by checking to see if there's a file attached to your order. If all looks good, hit "Add To Cart." or checkout instantly with your chosen provider.

Step 5. Proceed to checkout as usual. You're all set! If you want to be extra sure everything went through, you can click or tap the image link attached to your order to download and verify the image as we have it on our end.

Cross Stitch Instructions

Cross stitch is a form of counted thread embroidery that has been around for ages, and it is one of the easiest forms of hand embroidery to learn. Cross stitch is comprised of X-shaped stitches done on fabric with an even and open weave like Aida or linen. Designs can be traditional or modern or anywhere in between.
Cross stitch projects are often sold as kits, but you can also purchase fabric, thread and basic supplies to come up with your own project.
Either way, follow these steps to learn the basics of cross stitch.
