Review on Bucilla Christmas Stocking Applique 85431 by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Read the instruction fully first

When you finish, it will surely be amazing. Because it's incredibly time consuming, it's not very easy. It took me about a week and a half for 8 hours a day, and a day or two was approaching 12 hours. Part numbers are illegible. I've run out of white floss. Some parts, like the legs, show pre-printed instructions and I couldn't think of any other way to hide this than to wait for the erasing time. In the instructions, he wants you to see the big piece on the stocking for yourself. and then beading or embroidering or applique smaller pieces on top. It is impossible. For example, he wants that you sew a green tree onto a stocking and then attach the pieces to the tree, but only through the tree's felt and not through the stocking. It's almost impossible not to go through all the layers of felt when trying to attach a bead. So I attached all the details to the tree and then sewed the tree to the stocking. I also did this for the top cuff, purple skirt and chignon. It's a lot easier this way, so be sure to read on. made the purple skirt and chignon.

A vastly more satisfying time sink than a game app.

When i went to start the stocking I found that the felt was very poor quality.
