Review on Dimensions 13683 Needlecrafts Counted Feasting by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent kit.

I am a cross stitch enthusiast who has recently discovered the world of kits (instead of just buying a pattern and then providing my own fabric and thread). I have collected over a dozen Dimensions cross stitch kits and have not been disappointed with any purchase. Probably the largest provider of needlework kits available today, this company makes many cross stitch designs (my preference) as well as die cut cross stitch, needle and embroidery kits. (And yes, there is a difference between the above types of needlework.) I assume that most people who are just getting into the craft of cross stitch will be familiar with the Dimensions brand. because their kits are easy to find in craft stores and on the internet. When it comes to quality, you can't go wrong with a set of production measurements. One of the best features of this brand is their ready-made range of floss (thread) needed to embroider a design. Older kits contained bundles of thread that you had to separate yourself - a time-consuming and somewhat frustrating task for most embroiderers. I personally don't mind sorting the threads yourself as Dimensions has good instructions to help you, but I confess it saves a lot of time since this step is already done. The instructions are crystal clear and the charts are beautiful with clear symbols and illustrations of the stitches required (cross stitch, backstitch and sometimes French knots). With YouTube just a click away, NO ONE needs to be intimidated by a complex or detailed project. They use the same three basic stitches that you would find in a smaller, less complex design, so why bother with your choice? Go online and watch some videos on how to start your project or how to complete the required stitches and you're done! Just remember that these are projects that will take up your time. If you're not in a hurry, buy a design you like and appreciate, then sit back and embroider a little each day. You will be really proud of your finished work. and - sometimes - French knots).
