Customer stories
From our website · 9 stories · 2.400+ kits made since May 2026
“Had a photo of our cat, who had just passed away, turned into a kit. A comforting gift to myself. I worked on it with love.”
Eva
“My first time doing embroidery: everything was included, the instructions were clear and the result now hangs in the living room.”
Lisa
“Finally a hobby again that really relaxes me. Quick delivery, lovely quality. Recommended for anyone who wants to spend less time in front of a screen.”
Marieke
“Bought it as a present for my mum and she was over the moon. The packaging looks really good too.”
Anouk
“Very relaxing to do. The end result is stunning – incredible what you can achieve with hand-stitched crosses.”
Tessa
“Bought one for myself first, then for my mum and sister too. Being able to make your own memory into something – that stays special.”
Bram
“Turned out beautifully. Delivery took a little longer than expected, but it was definitely worth the wait.”
Femke
“A photo of my grandad on his boat – such a special gift to myself. I worked on it for weeks and looked forward to it every evening.”
Hanna
“My first project like this and I’m hooked. The pattern was accurate down to the last detail. It now hangs in the nursery.”

Is my photo suitable?
Almost always. A photo from your phone is fine. When you choose it, you’ll see straight away whether it’s big enough: at least 500 pixels on the short side.
Works well
- Sharp, with good light
- Your subject large in the frame
- The original file from your phone
Best avoided
- Too dark or overexposed
- Blurry, or a screenshot of a small photo
Old or dark photo? Go ahead and upload it: you’ll see the preview straight away.
We check every photo before we make anything. If it isn’t suitable, we’ll get in touch with you first. It costs you nothing extra.

FAQ
Can’t find your question? See all questions or email info@stitchistudio.com.
Will I get a preview?
Yes. As soon as you choose your photo, you’ll see a preview straight away. It’s a guide, not an exact representation. Then one of us looks at your photo; if we have any doubts, we’ll get in touch before we make anything.
Can I send my photo later?
Yes. Choose ‘No photo to hand? Order now, send it later’, pick your size and order. After you order, you’ll get an email with a link to send your photo. We’ll start as soon as we have it.
I’ve never done embroidery before. Will I manage?
Yes. Just choose pre-printed: the symbols and colours are already on the fabric, so there’s no counting. The instructions (in Dutch) explain step by step how to make a cross stitch.
What’s the difference between 11CT and 14CT?
CT stands for the number of stitches per 2.54 cm. 11CT is standard: larger stitches, easy to see. On 14CT the stitches are smaller, so you see more detail in things like faces and fur.
When will my kit arrive?
We make your kit in 5–7 working days, then it’s with you in 2–4 working days. Shipping is always free, with tracking.
You can pay securely with iDEAL, Klarna, Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard or PayPal.
Can I return it?
We make your kit especially from your photo. Made-to-order items can’t be returned; the right to cancel doesn’t apply to personalised products. Not happy with the quality? Then we’ll put it right.
We’ll always put it right. Something damaged or missing, or did we make a mistake? Email a photo to info@stitchistudio.com.
Can I give it as a gift?
Of course. At checkout, enter the recipient’s address. Please note: a personalised kit can’t be returned.
What are the instructions like?
Every kit includes step-by-step instructions in Dutch: how to read the symbols, make your first cross stitch and start and finish neatly.
Made to order: no returns, but always a solutionYour rights
