DIY Embroidery Kits Cross Stitch Kit Handmade Needlework Home Decor Colorful Tree Autumns Season

Easy to follow. Finished product is beautiful 😍

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the floss. Most pre-made kits come with very low-end thread but this was almost as saturated as DMC, just as soft, and didn’t knot or tangle easily. The cloth itself is huge so it won’t fit all in one hoop, but the fabric is stiff enough that you can just hold it in your hands without worrying about sagging.The colors and symbols were a bit frustrating. The print on the fabric doesn’t match what the final design will be, although the booklet’s image does. The booklet and fabric also each have different symbols for the colors (the actual DMC numbers are consistent). The booklet is also printed on glossy paper so there are a few things that made it difficult to follow along on the paper and highlight or cross out what stitches I’ve completed. I would have preferred for the print on the fabric to match the booklet and final picture. The other problem with the booklet is that it’s double-sided with only half of the pattern on each side. This isn’t an issue for most of the stitching, but there are a few rows where I’ll either have to constantly flip back and forth to cross out completed stitches, or adjust the order in which I’m stitching.Overall, this is a good kit with a beautiful picture and it’s big enough to keep me occupied for at least a few weeks, if not months. The downsides are minor enough that I will still be able to get a lot of enjoyment out of this kit.

Finished this (summer tree) in about 2 months. It's really pretty. The lady bugs didn't turn out well and can't tell what they are. The fabric IS stiff, if you've never done cross stitch, Aida fabric is stiff. It will loosen up as you work it into the hoop. It was printed perfectly. I don't understand why people complain about there being no instructions..it's a simple shape that you match to the correct number which correlates to the numbers on the thread. You do NOT need the folded paper directions unless you want to use that for the symbols and numbers however this is already printed on the fabric so it's not needed. I don't understand the confusion about how many strands to use. After reading the product description and comparing the instructions that came it's was easy to find that you use 2 strands for each stitch. The description of this product is written in the worst possible English so I am knocking a star since the company could put in the directions how many threads to used based on Aida cloth count (the package lists 11 and 14 and I had to use the poor English description in the description to try and figure out how many to use). I was left with a bunch of extra threads which is fine, I'd much rather have extra than not enough. Great project to work on, I'll look forward to doing the other 3 seasons.

I love this kit so far. Just as other reviewers say, this comes with no clear instructions (unless the chinese print that came with it are the instructions and I just can't understand it lol) which is why I knocked off a star. There is a color key printed on the canvas as well as on the paper (with the pattern) that came with it but be aware that they are BOTH DIFFERENT. It can be confusing but it is also easy enough to understand once you actually get it on hand and analyze it a bit.Also, I appreciate that the color key includes the DMC # for the embroidery floss. So in case you run out of thread for any reason, you'll at least know which ones to buy.This is my first time working with a marked canvas (which, I admit, is more confusing and tedious than working with a blank one which is what I'm used to) and I'm hoping that when I do get around to dunking this in cold water as instructed to erase it, it doesn't bleed or ruin the entire thing. If it does, I'll definitely come back and update my review to mention it. If it doesn't, then I'm definitely getting the kits for the other seasons!

These cross-stitching patterns are surprisingly well planned and everything needed was provided. The canvas is printed to see where all the different colors go (using the key on the side of the canvas, since the colors don't match the actual thread colors), but there is also a paper guide and key (that ONLY needs to be referred to if you prefer that, or if some of the ink washed off the canvas) that works the same exact way, just with different colors and symbols. The DMC codes are listed as well so you can purchase more thread if needed, but I received PLENTY of thread, the picture included showing the thread is from after I finished the project. As for the finished product, it looks beautiful and I definitely feel like the hours spent doing this were well worth it. As you can see, there are no remnants of the ink left on the canvas (or in the thread) after soaking it. I actually soaked it for about 1 1/2 hours before noticing the ink was all gone, and then I soaked it one more time for about half an hour in clean water just to make sure nothing was left. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs something to help pass the time and is more experienced incross stitching. I am also planning on doing the other 3 seasons as well, will update with those finished pictures when done.

Esta muy bonito y entretenido, pero es demasiado caro para lo que es
