Review on Bucilla 18-Inch Felt Applique Christmas Drive Stocking Kit - 86663 by Lori Aguirre

I have used sets of Bucilla Christmas stockings for myself and my husband, then for our 2 children, 5 grandchildren and now I finally got around to making a set for our daughter Law and Son in law! I particularly like the quality of the felt in these sets. The instructions are detailed enough even for beginners. Unfortunately there were some issues with the 2 sets I just bought. Almost half of the beads did not fit the eye of the needle and could not be used. There were a lot of misshapen white glitters that I wouldn't use. Two colors of floss were tied together with knots! One pin was completely bent, but both had tiny eyelets and it was impossible to thread them without a needle threader! I called support and they sent me more sequins and beads. This company is very accommodating and their employees are nice and helpful! I bought small "Made by Oma" thermal labels for the back of the finished stockings! The design of the stockings is great, but it requires a lot of embroidery, appliqué and a lot of time! These stockings look lovely on the mantelpiece at Christmas!
