Magic of Christmas A-Z

Magic of Christmas A-Z  is the latest addition to our growing range of Christmas stocking tapestry kits. Magic of Christmas is a reworking of our popular Christmas Alphabet whch we designed over 20 years ago!

We have made numerous changes from the original Christmas Alphabet and given it a different feel with its brighter colours. If you have already stitched Christmas Alphabet the brighter colours in Magic of Christmas give you another option for a new sibling, cousin or grandchild.

If you're stitching for more than one member of a family and need to ensure that each stocking you stitch is the same size, note that Magic of Christmas A-Z is one of our larger shaped stockings. It is the same size as Angels, Christmas Alphabet, Animal Ark, Cats and Dogs, Fairytale, Owls, Silent Night, Sleigh Bells and Toy Box.

Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential but will help to prevent your work from going out of shape. aIt also makes it easy to resume stitching the following day or after a break. We stock a range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which take only a few minutes to assemble. As the canvas is attached by sturdy clips, it's easy to switch between projects if necessary - just undo the clips, remove your canvas and swap over.

For Magic of Christmas A-Z stocking, we recommend a 21" CF219 or a CF2112 tapestry frame for ease of working. Choose one of the 24" frames if you think you will stitch cushion sized projects in the future.
