• Striking Contrast on Black Canvas: The jet-black fabric dramatically highlights the rich purple petals, green stems, and metallic details.
• Silver Metallic Highlights: Includes 30 meters of silver metallic thread to create a subtle, shimmering metallic effect across the background grid lines.

Framing & Care Tips

• Framing: The long vertical scroll-like format looks stunning in a slim black or silver frame with a light mat board (paspartu), or styled as a traditional hanging wall scroll.
• Care: When stitching with metallic thread, use shorter lengths to prevent fraying. Press your completed embroidery on the reverse side using a warm iron through a protective cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is stitching on black Aida canvas difficult?

A: Stitching on black fabric requires good overhead light and a white cloth or light source on your lap to clarify the holes. Otherwise, the 14-count grid provides a comfortable experience.

Q: Does the design cover the entire canvas background?

A: No, this project uses partial coverage. The flowers, stems, and delicate metallic motifs are stitched, while the black canvas forms an integral part of the moody, dramatic background.
