Review on 🐺 Joy Sunday Cross-Stitch Kit: DIY Hand Embroidery with Two Wolves Pattern - High-quality DMC Fabric Included by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice art, but floss could be better

I have been counting cross stitches for over 20 years. I wouldn't recommend it at all for beginners. With the number of colors involved (45) and multiple template pages (no cheating rows). The pattern is fairly easy to read but requires some creativity due to the higher density of the areas embroidered on the back as you cannot always see the character under the marked line. Another difficulty with the template is that it has 8 segments and you have to scroll through all the pages to find the correct next segment. To help with this I copied the pattern so I could glue the pieces together while I worked on it. Regarding floss, I found significant differences in floss thickness and noticed that it tangled much more easily than standard DMC floss. This didn't stop me from finishing the work, but I had to cut part of the thread as I had knots I couldn't untangle. I haven't finished this yet, but can't wait to see the final results. finished and must say that you have to do the back seam! Some reviewers say they missed it, but it's a radical difference.

Pros
