🐱 Tobin DW5396 Lots of Kittens Felt Applique Ornaments Kit, 3 by 4-Inch, Set of 13 Review

First time with this brand. I've used Bacilla before and they print patterns onto felt which makes it MUCH easier to use. This set contains templates printed on paper that you either transfer onto pieces of felt or cut out, stick onto the felt and cut out again. Many details are tiny. The first template had 9 tiny sheets, so you had to cut out 9 copies using the same small paper template. More of an exercise in frustration than a fun project. From now on I will stay with Bucilla.

This set has some nice decorations but the instructions are poorly written and incomplete. There aren't any markings on the felt fabric either, so you'll have to figure out how to transfer them from a paper pattern to a felt pattern. Don't even try to use a lightbox. Won't help. My grandkids loved them so I'm struggling to finish 3 of these but won't be able to finish the rest of the pack. Not at all what I expected. I think I've been spoiled by the Bucilla sets I've used in the past and will…

Difficult to work with, I had to improvise on a few things to cut out the templates. The noses and inner parts of the ears I ended up just embroidering, it's ridiculous to think that you can work with such small pieces of felt and sew them on. I used an alternative method I devised for fitting the pieces together, which gave the cats a much nicer 3D effect. I didn't like the monochromatic tail, so I reworked the tail. You could have just downloaded the pattern and bought the felt cheaper and it
