🧸 Tobin Heavenly Bears Sampler, Cross Stitch Kit, Size 8 x 10, 11"x14" 14 Count Review

Whilst the pattern was exactly as we envisioned this product was just a high quality photocopy of the original pattern and instructions without the rest of the advertised kit. While this works for our needs, it's not what we expected.

This is the smallest and most difficult button guide I've ever used on a cross stitch project. I don't even use or need glasses to see anything else in my life, but I feel like my eyesight is deteriorating. The key is so tiny that it is difficult. It looks like a tiny black and white photocopy of the original key/track.

This set did not live up to my expectations. The template was poorly printed and difficult to follow. Canvas Aida was of poor quality - the holes were too big. Difficult to align seams. Threads - several colors were missing and some colors weren't as pictured - so much so that it really bothered me. I really wanted a pattern so if I had figured it out beforehand I would have used my own aida and dental floss.

Very good simple set. The yarn is delivered pre-sorted. The thread chart is not labeled, but the colors are listed in order on the drawing sheet. They list the DMC numbers along with the colors, which is good because they don't give you enough floss. I ran out of the dark gray thread and maybe the dark blue thread too if I had followed the design text. Even though it's a simple design, I would only recommend this set to embroiderers who make few mistakes.
