Inside each kit

Every design, levelled

Each design has a level, so you know what an evening with it looks like before you start.

How it works

Four quiet moves

No needle, no thread, no glue. The template does the drawing for you.

  1. Peel

    Lift the backing off one section of the foam pad.

  2. Place

    Lay the matching fabric piece over it. It holds on contact.

  3. Tuck

    Tuck the fabric into the lines of the design with the tool.

  4. Trim

    Trim the extra fabric, tuck the last threads, move to the next section.

Beginner

Start here

Big, simple shapes and only a few fabrics. A calm first panel.

Try: Blue Bird on Pink, Pink Mushrooms, Sunrise over Valley and River

Level 2 · 8 designs

Easy

More sections, still forgiving. You know the moves now.

Try: Patchwork Trout, Autumn Songbird, Cardinal

Level 3 · 21 designs

Finer detail and more fabric changes. Slower, and very satisfying.

Try: Trout, Lobster, Crab
