After learning of Bucilla's lengthy history as a trusted provider of premium arts, crafts, and needlework supplies, I was eager to give some of their items a try. I was really dissatisfied with the firm and my interactions with them. To begin, I find that Bucilla's product offerings are mostly irrelevant to the interests and demands of contemporary makers. They may have been innovative in the crafts world a century ago, but their products haven't changed much since then. Because of the scarcity of options, I found it difficult to find reading matter that stimulated my imagination. The products themselves were also of disappointing quality. Despite the company's assurances that their products are made from "high-quality" materials, I was disappointed by their lack of resilience and attractiveness. Bucilla's materials were flimsy and poorly constructed in compared to those of other brands I've tried. As a whole, I would not suggest Bucilla to anyone looking for quality art materials. Although they have been around for quite some time, it appears that they have not evolved to match the needs of modern artisans. You can find better quality and more motivational content elsewhere.
