Dimensions Gold Collection Counted Cross Stitch Kit, Japanese Flower Garden, 16 Count Light Blue Aida, 12'' x 16''

This was actually my final cross stitch, I can longer do them. This picture turned out just like the picture shown. Beautiful thread match and directions. If you pay attention uou will have plenty of thread. But make sure you pay close attention to graph, it is easy to lose your place. The person I made this for loved it.

Honestly this gold collection brand is my favorite. I've done an aurora cabin as well with them and they always have lots of extra thread. I appreciate the thought that went into the extra thread since I tend to ruin a few lol. Good quality and lots of long term enjoyment. Will be purchasing more in the future. If your looking for a fun cross stitch that will last long, this is it! And the size is great 👍 instructions are clear and cant mess it up.

The sewing kit arrived right on time. I was super excited to do my very first Dimond Gold Cross Stitch Kit. However upon looking at the cross stitch pattern sheets, even though it was divided into two large 11 x 17 paper, I knew that the symbols were too small and I would probably as my daughter puts it "go blind but the time I finished the sewing". I also noticed that the embroidery threads were glued onto a board, and it would be impossible to put the threads back onto the board once I used it (resulting in lost threads). So to solve my problem, I enlarged the pattern sheets into four 11x17 papers. I can now easily see the symbols and mark the finished section without ruining the original pattern sheets. I also enlarged the thread key to 11x17, laminated it and cut it into strips leaving enough space on the left side to punch holes where I can place my threads. It took a long time to sort the threads & put it through the plastic holes, but I am finally done.... After all the preparation, now I can finally start on the project. I am sure it will be beautiful when done. Update: After a month, I am almost halfway done and this is what I had learned. Start from the center and work your way out. Try not to skip too many stitches. This will result in error and waste of time and threads. Always try to finish a section before you start a new section. This way, you will not only be able to see your completed work, but also able to catch any error early. And yes, always make sure you cross your "x" the same direction. I am very happy with the outcome so far. It is very pretty. Can't wait until the whole thing is done.

I've received this kit in a perfect condition. It is in a white case as fare as Dimensions has changes the design of their kit's covers. Frankly speaking I liked the old black cover better. But it doesn't influence of the kit itself. It is of the best quality, bright and happy colors, nice chart. Dimensions is the best :)

Instructions are clear and easy to read, plenty of embroidery thread is provided. Beautiful very bright vivid colors and gold metallic strands. I wouldn't recommend this to beginners because it is a larger project, and has alot of "confetti" (many colors in a small area). The fabric provided is very good quality and is a very light blue. A standard cross stitch needle is provided along with one for back stitching. Project is for the most part full coverage and consists of full and half stitchs.

Hermoso!!!

I love love this kit. It took me 8 months to finish, but that's with a lot of rest here and there. Its really fun and frustrating at the same time. Geez on the amount of confetti. But it was so worth it, it is beautiful. I still have half of the floss left and didn't even use the other needle. This is definitely not for a beginner. But if you like a challenge, this is the kit.

There is no problem with a kit by itself. Nice canvas and threads of a good quality. 3 stars are for a next reason. Kit was sold as “new, never opened”, but, I have received opened one. I am collecting those kits from the Dimensions, and for me it is critically important to have a “new never open” kit.

So excited about this cross stitch. I’m a very experienced cross stitcher and am enjoying the challenge of this project. Great way to pass the time during the pandemic. Definitely not for beginners but perfect for me!

Lindo kit

Ca fait longtemps que je le voulais. A ce prix là, j'avais une hésitation, je pensais qu'il serait venu de Chine, mais non, c'est bien un original. Parfait

デザインに一目惚れして購入しました。Dimensionsの作品は経験済みなので、期待通りの品質です。 難を言えば、16cよりも18cの方がよりリアルな仕上がりになると思うので、星を一つ減らしました。 説明は全て英語表記ですが、クロスステッチをした事がある人なら問題なく理解できると思います。

I was disappointed that there was not a printed pattern on the mesh and there were no grids. It required solely counting each and every square.
