Review on 🎨 Dazzling European Bistro Cross Stitch Kit - Dimensions Gold Collection, 16 Count Dove Grey Aida, 11x16 by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Dimensions Gold Sets are unbeatable!

I have never been unhappy with a Dimension Gold Collection cross stitch kit. In fact, it was the Gold (Large Palm Tree) set that first introduced me to the craft over twelve years ago. I've read some reviews of the Gold Collection sets warning that they are not for beginners. I do not agree! When I got my hands on my first Dimensions Gold kit, I found the instructions clear and easy to follow. I usually start by making myself a "working copy" of part of the diagram so I can freely highlight each line while I work on the seam. It can also help to make the chart a little larger if you are making a copy for embroidery, but of course this is not a requirement. Another HUGE benefit of Dimensions Brand's later sets is the pre-made floss. This is a huge time saver! I used to store my threads in "Floss Away" bags to keep myself organized and not lose or waste unused thread pieces. I've never run out of thread while working on the aDimensions Gold set, but I'm sure the company will send you additional amounts of thread that may run out while sewing. I give this kit an A+ for the design, use of colors and clearly written instructions. /Graphic. If you're new to cross stitch, there's no reason not to "exclude" yourself from this or any of the Dimensions projects. If you like the design, I think you will be motivated to embroider more often and complete your project. Try this craft! There are many videos on the internet and many sewing groups on Facebook. Have fun!
