Q How can I send my photo to Photos2Stitch?
A Photos can be uploaded via our online order forms, attached to emails or sent to us by post.
Q How long will my preview take?
A Previews are usually emailed to you within 1 - 2 days.
Q Once I have approved my preview how long before I receive my cross stitch kit?
A Kits are usually posted within a few days of receiving your payment. If you need the kit quickly or by a certain date please call us. We can usually oblige unless we are exceptionally busy (at Christmas for example!).
