Review on 🐶 Colorbok 59337 Dog Learn to Sew Needlepoint Kit with 6x6 Red Frame - Fun & Educational Craft Activity for Beginners by Carrie Spencer

I ended up making it myself and it's fun. However, there are so many problems. There is no needle threader so I used a small piece of tape on the end of the yarn to thread it. The yarn itself is very cheap but of sufficient quality. Luckily, it's enough to cover bugs and the like. The brown I received was not the dark brown shown in the picture but a slightly lighter, redder and almost metallic brown. I found it much nicer. Unfortunately, when I was making the kit, I found that the yarn was the biggest drawback for me personally. As I did this and looked at the picture, it seemed to me that there was something too "flat" in it. as soon as i thought about it I couldn't, nor did it occur to me that if a dog has eyes as blue as the background and a nose as brown as fur, it just doesn't look right. I wished so much I had black yarn for my nose and eyes that I stopped knitting a set until I found something. I also think some backstitch outlines using regular thread instead of thread will really make it stand out. Perhaps you would like to add some black yarn and thread when purchasing this set? I'd love to suggest this colorbok, but the box actually says the kit was imported from China, so I'm not sure if the importers can make any improvements to it. Not if they can't request a change? The plastic canvas is pre-printed, but the print registration isn't perfect, so since you're using one color, are you finding squares where it's not obvious which of the two colors should be? This is most evident when you start making the pupils of the eyes. My first try came out as a vertical line and when I looked at the box they made it little 2 x 2 squares. So I followed that example. I have to say that my paint has also chipped badly. I was also very cautious, I was warned by the Revain reviews. However, I could think of a way to minimize it significantly. I noticed that the peeling started with the paint cracking every time the plastic canvas was folded. Aha! Then I had an idea that helped me a lot. I put it in a little red box which you should put it in when you're done. This sometimes made it difficult to finish the backing if you were trying to tuck in the ends of the yarn, like cross-stitching, rather than tying knots. I ended up tucking in the ends for the longer pieces and tying knots for the shorter ones. I have to mention the frame. I was a bit disappointed that they offer to burn in a finished project. I actually found that putting a line of hot melt adhesive around the inside of the frame was much safer since I was using the frame to prevent the plastic canvas from bending too much and losing all the pressure. I believe most decent types of glue will work reasonably well. The finished puppy is very cute and very easy to write off as a child. However, I found it amusing as a variation on large cross stitch projects I've done in the past. It's very relaxing and doesn't require countless hours of free time. The finished dog looks very cute! Since it was a fun little set, I thought I might take a chance experimenting with mine. I tried to make the dog stand out more from the background. I sewed my drawing in layers, first with the background and then with the dog. I also came up with the idea of making all the background stitches diagonally opposite of what I made the dog out of. I also thought that since the yarn is acrylic, you can ONLY sew the dog's fur first and then carefully with a small, stiff brush. , you can comb it to make it look like real fur. I just thought after i've done the whole background so if i buy another one maybe i'll make this one with tufted fur? I think it looks much better with black yarn. that I can risk experimenting with mine. I tried to make the dog stand out more from the background.
