Review on ☕️ Maydear Cross Stitch Kits - Stamped Embroidery Starter Kits for Beginners - DIY 11CT 3 Strands - Coffee Cup Design - Size 14×21 Inch by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great project - read the instructions carefully before you start

Really liked it - took almost a month to complete - used 2 skeins of yarn in the starter bus I made I didn't read the instructions properly at the beginning, so since I'm more of a beginner and I was wondering why I have so many scraps of thread. Well it's a 3 thread project so now I know. It still turned out great, even though I switched from 2 to 3 strings halfway through. I sent the finished project to my elderly tea lover's parents (not sure why it's called coffee cups although it's clearly a tea bag hanging from one of the tea cups) and they loved it - thought they could make a throw pillow out of it, but they said it is too pretty and will frame. The fabric is stiff at first, but will soften after a week or two. Note that the printed colors do not match the actual colors (other reviewers mention this as a source of frustration, but if you read the instructions it would make sense) - this is done in a way that allows you to tell the pattern apart. otherwise you can squint. I highly recommend this set. I am planning to make another one for my tea loving mother-in-law to send for Christmas.
