This is the perfect piece for an advanced beginning cross-stitcher. It is NOT suitable for Aida cloth as it contains many specialty stitches. Hence, it must be stitched on a Lugana, Monoco, or similar fabric. It is NOT compatible with cross-stitch markup apps except for the border. The Model was stitched by Mia on 28-count Jobelan using two strands of floss for x-stitches and specialty stitches. Colors are versatile and can be switched up to suit your taste and décor.
