Review on 🧦 Personalized Christmas Stocking Kit 'Snow Bears' by Dimensions - 14 Count Blue Aida Cloth, 16'' for Counted Cross Stitch by Kelly Caballes

I finally collected the whole stocking and I really like its design! It took a while (because I work a lot) and I was a little afraid to sew it all together, but I watched some online videos and it turned out better than I expected: direct and easy (but it was me cross stitch for over 15 years). It's going to be beautiful! Some people complain that the thread is now glued to the pattern that comes with the kit. To keep the thread organized, I fold each color and then loosely knot it. I also use a hole punch at the top of each color so I can thread the thread into those holes after pulling it out to keep everything neat and organized. One thing that is disappointing is that they only give you a felt back. to finish the stocking, which is not common in this type of work. Instead of just using that, I went to the local fabric store and bought light blue velvet for the back of the stockings and some red satin for the lining. You will need a sewing machine and some basic sewing skills to complete the stocking. I'm not very experienced with the machine so I used a few extra pieces of fabric to get the right tension for sewing. I also used the felt that came with it, sprayed glue onto the felt and then placed it on the back of the velvet to add a little extra support. After several videos on the internet I finally put my stocking together and now it proudly hangs in my apartment :D
