All the kits and chart packs are prepared here at the Studio at Pink's Barn where we use the best quality Zweigart fabrics throughout our range. I have never understood why stitchers spend hours and hours on a piece of stitching but on cheap badly constructed fabrics. I hope you are never tempted! Many of the packs have pre-sorted threads, so that you can start stitching straight away - no thread sorting to do. Smaller kits are sometimes supplied with a bundle of threads but only if the colours are easy to identify. Our phone number is supplied on all the packs so please call if you have a problem and we will sort this for you by return.We do try to get things right the first time but even we make mistakes! There are lots more kits in the shop so just click on the + sign and you will the long drop down menu. Do have fun browsing!
