Review on 🐻 Janlynn C5589 Bear Birth Sampler Stamped Cross Stitch Kit: Create Your Own Adorable 11" x 14" Masterpiece! by Barbara Simmons

Pleased but very disappointed that the yarn came in a bundle with no color markings. It has many different shades of the same color and I had to tap on a light medium dark. Everything seems fine, but with different shades of blue gray and brown, it's confusing. So yeah I made a bear the wrong damn color and now I'm improvising. If I were a beginner it would be pretty daunting. It's been 2 years and I'm just finishing my project. I lowered my rating by 1 star because the lack of motivation to finish sewing and have fun with it caused a lot of trouble. The problem is not only guessing which shade to use, but also that the instructions are very difficult to match with the fabric being die cut. Much of this is inconsistent, forcing me to seek, check, double-check, guess, and change my stitches frequently. Again, it would be a disaster if I wasn't an experienced flasher. With creativity I can make it work, but it's not fun at all. My beautiful grandson is the only reason I enjoy this project! I won't say I will never buy Janlynn again because I've noticed other reviews from other companies mention similar issues.
