The kit must have been redesigned by the feedback I read because I do not have any I'm fine without the needle, so there was no need for it. Although separating thread is a pain in the neck, but when is it not? This kit appears to have enough thread for the kit and we did not encounter any issues when separating thread. I am very pleased with the progress so far on the stocking. They redesigned this kit, so again, I think it's easier to read the pattern. Starting out with this is not a good idea. It's safe to say I'm at an intermediate level with cross-word puzzles The first thing I did was stitch, and it is pretty easy so far, but for someone who just started out, it is a lot. As soon as I finish it, I'll post a photo of the adorable stocking. will purchase another kit once I am done with this one. I am most satisfied with the kit.
A good portion of my time was spent simply unraveling the thread, which I had to manually unwind and unravel inch by inch in order to prevent tangles and breaks. In the last four weeks, I've made four additional pairs of stockings, each one Rather than having to use a needle and thread (like pulling a drawstring), you can simply pull a thread free and pull them apart. When finished, the stocking is very cute, but having to weave my own thread is so much work I would tend to purchase something else.
There is a lot of light in the pattern graph, and it's very difficult However, some of the symbols are hard to make out even after I copied and darkened the image. On the hats, the yellow floss is more prominent than the white floss you see in the photo. It was even better than I expected As I was stitching, I checked the pattern to make sure I was using the right floss. According to other reviews, some colors of floss are in short supply It would be a good idea to update my review if that happened.
Having been designed in an odd way, the chart is not square and finding the center can be a bit difficult. I don't like the quality of the backing fabric that comes in the package. Considering all the effort I put into stitching, I chose fabric that can hold up to several years of use and lined it.
I loved this one. The pattern turned out awesome and was a lot of fun to do! The course wasn't difficult, but it was interesting enough due to a variety of things to do.
If you spend a great deal of time counting carefully, you want to see the details Also, the special glossy threads that are mixed with cotton threads caused the cotton thread to be snagged, knotted, and damaged. There was a lot of struggling to do with this fabric and the finished look was not as good as.
This seller's service is very good. The reason for four stars instead of five is the blue, purple, and gray colours don't look that great on my computer. It was difficult to work with white blending filaments. Though I could understand wanting the "sparkle" in the design, the threads frayed and did not stay in place even when I used two Aside from this issue, this stocking is very cute and I'm certain my granddaughter will enjoy it.
Quite a few of these have been Making the stockings was enjoyable for me, and my grandchildren love them.
