Review on 🧡 DIY Stamped Cross Stitch Kit - 14CT Pre-Printed Art Craft & Sewing Needlepoint for Home Decor - A Basket of Flowers by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to make, trouble threading

This is a cute little (for me) project. Both the pattern and the printed fabric are easy to read. The thread seemed a little poor quality. He wants to get a little hooked and confused, if the design was bigger I would switch to DMC thread (numbers included). I've run out of white thread; I used accessories I salvaged from the leftovers of another kit. I ran out of red too; I didn't have a supply of that color so I made the red and green stockings on the tree owl blue gray. I don't think anyone will notice haha. There were many threads of all other colors. I skipped the backstitch because I hate doing it and it was still cute without it. I sewed mittens and bauble owl ornaments but left out everything else. I had no problem removing the print from the fabric after I was done. It took a little longer than other brands of pre-stamped lots I've made, but using very hot water took care of it. I decided to turn it into a fun little pillow, photos and videos are attached. Bells inside are not attached in any way. the cushion stuffed there keeps them all in place by themselves (1 bell in each corner). I had to deduct a star because the quality of the thread that came with it was very annoying, but overall I liked this one.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
