I really like this product! The only negative feature is that I dislike the way the 1/2 stitches appear. Using full stitches was all I could manage. It's a 4 out of 5 star rating for me. I have yet to see the 'finished product' as I am still working on it. I wish you the best of
Counted cross stitch is not what this is. All the stitches on the linen have to be counted from the beginning. Though it takes a great deal of time, the results are absolutely stunning! For myself, counted cross stitch is not my cup of tea due to my lack of The cross stitch that I prefer is stamped cross stitch, but needlepoint is still my favorite. Here is my response to your question. I hope it has helped! Thank you and have a nice
Since there is a couple of blue stitches on it, the cream color gives the appearance of a cloud. Cross stitch is a very easy endeavor for me and I have done most of my work on cream color they look great

Taking 8 months to complete, I worked on this for 8 months. There are lots of little details in these kits that make them easy to use. I have two children. For what I needed, I had plenty of string. This fabric is a little stiff at first, but I rinsed it with water and let it air dry, and it loosened In order to prevent fraying, I also used some glue around the edges. After I finished ironing it, I was able to get rid of the wrinkles caused by using the embroidery hoop. There are only two pages of the pattern, which can get annoying when you're trying to finish the middle since you have to keep re-examining the pattern Positioning it correctly and making sure you're in the right spot is important. ** It's not overly difficult, but there's a lot of color mixing, half stitches, and full stitches so if you're a beginner, it may seem overwhelming to you at first, but it's not difficult. While I made a lot of mistakes with this picture, fortunately the image lends itself well to easy cover-ups Please find attached a couple of pictures of the back of the item in the spirit of transparency, so that you can see how the threads were The Dimensions kit that I made turned out well, and I will probably stick to them whenever I can. I have not yet tried any other kits to compare them to.
It's like this
Colorful and vibrant - I like this portrait in general
I dislike it- -The patterns are fairly complex (I personally prefer numbers)* As we traveled, the threads began to run out. The fact that these were imported has made it difficult for replacement parts to be found, defeating the purpose of a kit in the first place* - As early as the beginning, a needle broke. At least you could replace it with the one in a local shop if the quality wasn't as robust.
I love the picture, and I love the way it is presented. There are a lot of different color combinations used in the shading, etc. , which makes it difficult to make out the shading, etc. , but overall I am thrilled A beginner would not be advised to try it. An absolute beginner might become discouraged by it due to its complexity. As soon as you begin, just expect it to take a while for it to be completed. Winter is a great time to take up this hobby.
A vibrant array of colors can be seen here. There will be no disappointment for you! A few tips While I would not consider this to be a beginner project, I do think it would be fairly straightforward because of the larger stitch size and kit organization. Because it is a larger project, you should be prepared to dedicate some time to it.
First, the thread comes sorted on cards. A sturdy folder with pockets held the card on top. I taped the card to the top of the folder. Among the pockets are pockets that hold long threads when not in use (a slip knot keeps the threads from tangling) and chart storage pockets A threaded needle can also be inserted into the gap between the folder and card, where the threads of the folder match the threads of the card. I used size 8 needles and a lot of needles. I've never tried It is not necessary to rethread every time you switch colors since this thread uses only 26 threads (except for the parts using five and six threads). To use, just stick the threaded needle into the tape at the top until you need it It was important to me that the textures came through, so I decided not to frame it with glass. Mating is not required it will fit a 11 x 14 inch image. It is framed.
As this is my first kit, and the first time I've tried cross-stitching, I'm feeling nervous about the results It matters not whether the stitches are straight or curved. Following the instructions was relatively easy, and the outcome was great! There is only one cross-sectional requirement for this design The threads I used were stitches, half stitches, back stitches, and two French knots (which took me an hour to figure out), and I was surprised that none of the threads ran out, even after making many errors. As a result of the corrosion, I did need to replace the needle halfway through the procedure. Even for beginners like me, this kit is highly recommended!.
We had a lot of fun working on this project, but we strongly suggest that future buyers match the supplied floss to DMC floss or another brand and purchase It turned out I ran out of the floss that came in the kit pretty early on It may have been too spread out, but it seems to me that you should be able to finish most of the project without needing to purchase In an effort to place order for more, I attempted to contact the company, but was unable to do so There is not much user friendly information on the website They have beautiful designs, which is a shame.
At times, it was challenging and I am not sure if it is suitable for beginners because they would need more step by step directions when designing clothes. Freelance is the way to go! There's a count to be made! The results turned out quite well, I believe! Finished product! I'm so happy with it!.
I really liked that the materials were all included, and that the colors were organized in a color card so that finding them was easy. It has held my attention since I began working on it. I highly recommend this product and the directions are simple to follow! The pattern is so pretty! I love the colors in the fall. It would be a good recommendation!.
