Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kinu?

Kinu is our nickname for Kinusaiga, a Japanese art form that uses fabric tucked into grooves to create beautiful, colorful designs without sewing.

What comes with a Kinu board?

Each board includes a precision laser-cut foam design with adhesive backing already installed, plus a sturdy support board. Fabric and tools are not included.

Do I need to provide my own fabric?

Yes! That's part of the fun. You choose the fabrics and colors that make your project uniquely yours.

Can I order a custom design?

Absolutely! We can turn your own artwork into a custom Kinu board. Send us your photo or digital file, and we'll transform it into a Kinu-friendly design and will then provide you with board with your desired art!

How do I add fabric to my board?

Start by peeling back the adhesive in the section you want to work on. Press your fabric into place, tuck it into the laser-cut grooves, and trim away the excess. Finish with one final tuck to create a clean, smooth line.

Our precision-cut grooves help guide your work, making it easier to create beautiful results.

Can I return my order?

All sales are final. We do not accept returns or exchanges for changes of mind. If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us and we'll arrange a replacement.
