Review on 🐸 Design Works Crafts Tobin RZ09-01953E72-R3U1 Frog Pile Cross Stitch Kit-11"x16" 14 Count- Enhanced SEO by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Looks good but doesn't mind

I've just received my new Design Works cross stitch kit (#2599 Frog Pile) that I ordered from Revain. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on a more than 5 hour flight. Not so thrilled after studying the kit. The thread is simply threaded through the perforated organizer, not attached like all other kits I've made. This makes it almost impossible to ensure security and organization. Also, NONE of the thread colors are identified or marked. It's a multicolored design like this, it's ridiculous for me to try to define and then label all the different colors on a flimsy organizer. is it blue or blue Dark green or dark mint green? Also, I pulled out my DMC color chart because according to the instructions in my kit I was supposed to have a thread length of #718 (plum). There are NO plums in my set. I have a random length of "something blue" that obviously doesn't fit. The design outline is completely black and is printed under the microscope. I'm not sure I can follow that exactly. I am very disappointed in this product. I am a very experienced embroiderer and this set is not of the quality I work with. This will be the only product I will order from Design Works. I contacted the manufacturer about my concerns and based on the response I received I am posting this review. Basically, they don't care.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of style
