Review on πŸ‘˜ Elegant Geisha Counted Cross Stitch Kit - Dimensions Gold Collection, 18 Count Ivory Aida, 5'' x 7'' for Enhanced SEO by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

In love, what else can you say?

I recently bought 3 of these counted cross stitch projects as I wanted to try needlework for the first time. I saved this one for last because of the three I bought, the delicate finesse of the image and the truly amazing colors of this one is my favorite. So I'm going to save it until I practice counting cross stitches. But after starting one and reviewing all three packages, I know I'll enjoy working on this one too! The theme is very neatly organized and really colorful. I am new to needlework so my opinion may be wrong but I think the thread quality was very good. The package came quickly, complete picture, instructions, fabric, needle and thread. I don't know if the pre-organized thread is common or not, but as a total newbie I found it amazingly useful. I plan to buy many more of these as I've found them to be a lot of fun to work with. Updated Review: After working on the Samurai project for about a week, I found that the needles included in these kits are, in a word, cheap. It has started to curve in the middle and changes color as long as I hold it in my fingers. This is literally the only flaw I have found with these products. I will be buying more of these sets and I love them. I'm just planning to buy a better needle separately to use from now on. It definitely works if you just want to start and see if you like it, but for those intending to make more than one, buy a better needle.

Pros
  • Counting Kits
