MaydearCross Stitch Stamped Kits Full Range of Embroidery Starter Kits Beginners for DIY 11CT 3 Strands - The Chicken Knitting a Sweater 20.5×13.8(inch)

I just finished stitching these chickens. Easy to follow, plenty of threads.

I love the design and the instructions are easy

Fun project. Be aware that it has to soak for several hours to get the stamped pattern out of the cloth. I was concerned but it did finally come out.

I just got it but I have purchased from this company before. Enough Floss, great colors.

I enjoy doing something to keep my hands busy while watching tv or sitting in on long zoom meetings where I have to pay attention, but don’t need to take notes. I decided on a whim to try cross stitch, and really liked the look of the cute parrots on the line from this series. I received it quickly and it does come with everything you need! Here are a few things:1. The “instructions” require you to know at least a few things about cross stitch to interpret. I recommend watching a few videos, just search for “beginner pre-printed cross-stitch.” Then the instructions make a lot more sense!2. There is MORE than enough thread for the project (I have a lot left over). On the front of the package is a code (in this case 11CT 3 strands) which indicates the number of threads you use while stitching (in this case 3, the 11CT refers to the fineness of the fabric and therefore the number of crosses you can do per inch, bigger numbers mean smaller stitches, which are harder). Each piece of “floss” is made up of 6 threads (or “strands”), so you have to separate out three of them with which to thread your needle. If you try to use the whole floss (or even worse try to use three of them) you won’t be able to thread your needle, and you’ll quickly run out of thread. If you do run out it is easy to find more since they use a standard code for each color.3. The one thing that doesn’t come in the kit that is super helpful is a needle threader. You can get one on Amazon or even your local grocery store. They are cheap!4. The colors printed on the cloth are very bright, which helps make stitching easy, and reduce the amount of attention you have to pay while doing it. They do show through the stitching somewhat, but I haven’t washed them out yet. There are clear instructions for how to wash out the printing.5. You’ll learn this from the videos, but make sure all your stitches are the same as this makes a big difference in how the pattern looks in the end. I accidentally did one row backwards and it stuck out like a sore thumb, and I ended up picking it out and doing it again.Really all of this I learned from the videos, but the result makes me feel very professional!. This project is taking me many hours, and I am really enjoying it! I’m planning to buy some more kits, and recommend you do too!

This was my first shot at cross stitching. I knew absolutely nothing before and read some reviews for help. As others mentioned, I recommend watching a YouTube video (or something similar) to learn how to start the threads, end the threads, how to move around the canvas, etc. Once I learned those basics, I got started and it’s been a really fun intro to cross stitching

Directions are in foreign language. And this is not a good beginner project.

It’s a really beautiful print and I’m having fun doing it but def not enough string. I’m going to have to purchase it again just to have enough string to finish it

My daughter loves crosstich and she picked it out

Came fast, good quality. Looking forward to stitching this one!

The colors aren't clearly indicated. Otherwise is as expected

The instructions are not translated well from a different language so it is difficult to understand them.

The colour that’s printed on the fabric is not the same as the floss. Using as baby shower gift.
