I would not recommend this for beginners only because it is a full coverage pattern and there is a lot of changing colors (if you are trying to keep the back neat and tidy). The symbols are clear and easy to read as is the backstitching and the colors look to be easily interchangeable so you can use this pattern multiple times with different colors (obviously after the first time you would have to buy your own thread).My only real complaint is that the thread color codes are not dmc. So i am going to have to take the thread to a store and try and visually match the colors and notate them. There looks to be plenty of thread provided, however i like to be prepared in the event of mistakes needing torn out or thread just getting ruined. So it would be nice to have a dmc color converter so if I need more thread or want to do this pattern again in the future with the same colors i know what need to buy.

The person who said you have to write the pattern on doesn’t know how counter cross stitch works. The pattern isn’t printed on the fabric, but the pattern is provided and you just have to count the stitches according to the pattern. So cute when it’s done!

What I like most is that the thread colors are already separated for you by the theme of the picture! That is awesome, what I am very upset about is once again I have received a dimension birth sampler and The sampler two is missing the needle. Unfortunately I didn’t think to check it before we went on vacation where I had seven days to work on this Crosstitch, now I have to try to find a needle!

Looks even cuter in person! The only thing that worries me is that it might go short on strings. Other than that, so cute! Also, DHL is awesomely quick. They picked this up in the evening of the 16th and I got this at noon of the 18th and I live in Korea.

I have completed numerous cross stitch patterns over a number of years. I like Dimensions kits, which are well put together and could be completed by a novice who has the patience to read the instructions and not race ahead to complete the pattern in the shortest time possible.I haven't completed the pattern yet, so I am unable to comment on the quantity of thread supplied. However on previous kits, I have found that there is plenty, provided that you use it sensibly.I have had no problems with thread unravelling, or tangling as stated in other reviews. I suspect that they are trying to use too long a length of thread. I use a single strand doubled.This is a lovely pattern, which will be perfect for my newest grandchild.

This cross stitch pattern doesn't require mixing colors unlike many others of this size. This may not deter everyone, but if you have troubled eyesight the similar colors because of blended threads can be difficult to see. The pattern is quite easy to follow, so I would recommend to anyone who's not tried a cross stitch of this size. I'm making this for my first grandchild and I can't wait to give it to her. On a side note, the packaging is sealed with a really sticky adheasive. With other kits, I keep all the threading and instructions in the original package. I don't dare on this one (or any other Dimensions brand pattern) because the adheasive sticks to EVERYTHING. Don't chance tearing your instructions or transfering goop to your cloth. I store everything in a gallon sized bag. I will still rate this 5 stars, because I don't think the packaging is really meant to be retained once opend. It's meant to ensure everything stays inside prior to opening.

I got this to make for my son (coming soon in September!) and started it about a month ago. So far the pattern is very easy to follow and it's something simple yet cute to have for when my son arrives. My only issue is that they have presorted the colors (that's a good thing!) on a lengthwise pice of cardboard and glued them to the cardboard so when you take them off to use them it's hard to keep track of which color is which because there are no holes to tie them to.

I bought this kit to make for my nephew's baby. The yarn came already separated which saved a lot of time. The pattern is easy to read and the sampler is coming together quickly. I would recommend this kit! The sampler is very cute.

First, I really like that the floss is all separated for you already. My least favorite thing about starting a new cross stitch is separating out all the thread and organizing it. This cross stitch comes with everything nicely labeled and organized, so you can get started as soon as you open it.Second, I've only completed 2 cross stitch projects before. Both of them took me a very long time, and I had a hard time avoiding mistakes that threw me off. The design is broken down into distinct sections, and since each different square has a background pattern, that has helped keep me from making mistakes that are a pain to correct. I recommend completing part of the background pattern for each square before beginning the animal and letter or number. It gives you more points of reference to make sure you've counted off the pattern correctly and to catch and make adjustments for any errors.This will be a gift for my neice, who is due in a few months. I think it's adorable, and the design would work for either a boy or a girl. You won't be sorry if you buy this!
