Review on Textile Heritage Coaster Kit Damask by Kelly Caballes

The finished product is excellent. But the eye of this needle is tiny, and the included thread tends to snap when pulled through the needle. I went through two full strands (after separating the working strands from a full skein of 6 strands) of light green thread without making a single stitch because they snapped every time I pulled them through the indicated eye of the needle to use. I would recommend using a different needle that you know threads easily and a high quality branded embroidery floss such as DMC instead of the ones that come in the kit. The pattern for the full stitch and delicate damask stitch on the left is easy to understand, but for red, pink and green stitch on the left of the rose, "see color photo" which is tiny and this detail is not easy to see.
