Q1: Which needles work for this design?
An 80/12 universal needle is usually best for most projects, though you should swap to a smaller needle if you decide to use thinner, delicate fabrics.
Q2: How should I stabilize the fabric?
For Black Cat With Moon And Books, use a medium-weight cut-away stabilizer if you are stitching on knits, while a standard tear-away works great on stable wovens.
Q3: Can I scale this pattern?
Yes, dear! We recommend you keep any size adjustments within 10% to ensure the stitch density remains stable and the finish stays smooth.
Q4: How do I maintain the piece after washing?
Pro Tip: Turn your project inside out and use a cool, gentle cycle. Always iron from the reverse side using a pressing cloth to keep the thread looking fresh.
