Review on 🧡 Beginner's Embroidery Kit: Cross Stitch & Needlepoint Kit with Animal, Flower, and Plant Patterns - Funny Embroidery Starter Kit for Decor, Includes 2 Embroidery Hoops by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor quality but doable - hoop without bamboo

The price of this set is very low so maybe some of my problems with it go unnoticed but still there were definitely some problems. Firstly the materials aren't the best - the kit comes with plastic hoops, not bamboo (although the description says 'bamboo' which is very frustrating) which doesn't hold the fabric well and which if you want to show it off in a tire is pretty ugly. The needles are also not very strong (one broke early), threading is very difficult, and the sewing process is quite difficult in many places. Completely cover some parts (e.g. embroidered text - I used a felt tip pen to close it around the edges). The stamp also bleeds horribly - someone accidentally got a few drops of condensate from a drink, and the blue spilled everywhere and was impossible to remove, hence the bare leaves in some places. Be sure to sew outside the blue lines to hide them and never let them get wet. There are even spots where I barely wet the end of the thread to try impossible needles where just a barely wet tiny end of the thread is pulled through the fabric and the blue flows. Also the instructions are illegible but you can watch the stitches on YouTube if you don't know them. The process is more difficult than it should be because of the quality. also very disappointed with the misleading list of tires.
