Review on 🧵 Dive into Joyful Cross Stitching with Joy Sunday's Counted Close Friend Kit - Perfect for Girls' Crafts and Needlework by Barbara Simmons

On the other hand the fabric is good and I was so surprised that the edges were covered that I didn't have to deal with it. The thread is nice and thick so you get good coverage. Also, the template is the easiest to read I've ever come across. Instead of those annoying bizarre tiny characters, it's just letters and numbers. Disadvantage of the template: The template is divided into 4 separate sections so you can't help but worry about lining up the sections, although the grid is well defined. Also, you can't work on the middle part without constantly flipping the diagram. The best solution is to finish the whole quarter and move on to the next one. Two more problems: Some thread colors have such a similar meaning that they are difficult to tell apart. And even worse, don't expect enough flow. I've made dozens of kits from different companies and am so careful with thread that I never run out of the other kits, but I did it with this one. I will be ordering more kits from this company because I love the photos.
