What the AI looks for in Cross-Stitch Stamped Kits

Print alignment: The printed design should sit squarely on the fabric grid. Misaligned printing forces you to choose between following the print and following the weave, and either way the result looks messy.
Washable ink: The kit should state that the ink washes out after stitching. Permanent or faint ink either shows through finished stitches or is hard to read while you stitch.
Fabric count: Stamped kits often use 11 count. Finer counts make printed symbols harder to read. Small printed areas on fine fabric cause colour mistakes.
Floss type and quantity: Cotton floss, sorted by colour, with enough to finish the design. Many budget stamped kits run short of thread or use thread that tangles easily.
Colour mapping: The printed colours or symbols should be easy to match to the supplied floss. Similar shades printed in near-identical tints are a frequent source of errors.

Kits that do not say whether the printed ink washes out
Dense, photo-style images on stamped fabric, which are hard to read stitch by stitch

With washable ink it rinses out once you soak the finished piece. Areas left unstitched may still show faint marks if the ink is not fully washable.
