Bucilla Lord's Prayer Counted Cross Stitch Kit-11-1/4"X14-1/2" 14 Count Review

(More customer reviews)
I wish I would have listened to the reviews when I purchased this kit but I went against my gut instinct. I opened the kit this morning and it took me 2 hours to just untangle the thread. I haven't even started sorting the colors but, just looking at the thread, I can tell that is going to a challenge itself. This is the first and last time I will buy a Bucilla kit. I will stick to Dimensions from now on.

I was introduced to Q Snaps by a co-worker eight years ago and I have never gone back to hoops. Q Snaps are user and AIDA cloth friendly, come in many different sizes and can be taken apart and used to construct a new frame in whatever size you need. Unlike most hoops, Q Snaps don't leave behind crimping marks on your cloth and you don't have to loosen or take the whole thing off to tighten your fabric.

Q-Snap frames are made from PVC tubing making them lighter and more durable than other materials. The clamp design for holding the fabric is gentle and simple to use. The clamp design for holding the fabric is gentle and simple to use. Just lay the fabric over the frame then gently push the clamps down stretching the material around the outside of the frame. The ribbed inner surface of the Q-snap clamps hold the tension for your preferred adjustment. Simply turn the clamp outward to tighten or inward to loosen. Measures 11 x 11 inches.

American Dream E-Z Stitch Floor Stand No Baste Scroll Frame with Graph Holder Review

American Dream E-Z Stitch Floor Stand No Baste Scroll Frame with Graph Holder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this American Dream E-Z Stitch Floor Stand for my wife because she loves to cross-stitch and I thought it would be easier for her to cross-stitch with this stand since she is in a wheel chair. This item took forever to receive, and when we got it, it looked nothing like the beautiful Mahogany supposedly made out of redwood like the product information claimed. The stand we got looks like something we would buy at Walmart for $20.00. In other words... wood that is stained and not like the high quality wood product information claim it to be. It is not very sturdy but very wobbly, and even worse you have to stitch the the cross-stitch fabric to the wooden dowels in order for the stand to hold the fabric... so each time your need to move the cross-stitch fabric she has to unto the stitching and restitch it to the dowels. This Product is very deceiving and not worth $179.99. Instructions very difficult to understand. Instructions state there are accessories that can be bought separately for the stand but not listed in product information. If I could afford the postage, I would send it back and find her another cross-stitch stand. Very poor quality product for the price we paid for it. Very Very Unhappy!

Dimensions Needlepoint Believe Snowman Stocking Review

Dimensions Needlepoint Believe Snowman Stocking
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very attractive kit. I wish the "believe" letters were not printed on the canvas. When I stitched the first two I was not pleased with the results. I removed the stitches but replacing the colors with white does not work out well since the canvas dye shows through the white stitches. I am going to try a "fix" by affixing a tassel and jingle bell to each letter site. A person could try large buttons if that does not work. Good Luck & Merry Christmas!!

Dimensions Counted Cross Stitch, Exotic Butterflies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the very first cross-stitch I've ever done and I love it! It wasn't super easy but it was pretty enough that it forced me to keep at it until it was finished. Larger patterns were too intimidating and so many patterns are just not my style, but this was perfect. I highly recommend this one to cross-stitchers of any experience level.

Flittering, fluttering, nature's beauties dance across the fabric. The inky darkness of the navy Aida artfully contrasts with the jewel-like colors and flashes of silver metallic thread and blending filament. Kit contains cotton thread, binding filament, 18 count navy Aida, needle and easy instructions. Finished Size: 7-Inch by 5-Inch

Dimensions Counted Cross Stitch Snowman And Friends Review

Dimensions Counted Cross Stitch Snowman And Friends
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is my third xmas stocking that I'm cross stiching in 3 years. I've made one for each of my kids as I found out I was expecting. I am in no means a pro at cross stiching and it takes me close to a year to finish a project of this size. I have found that I really like the Dimension brand kits as it includes easy to understand directions and decent quality material. This kit had the yarn strings already seperated which saved me some prep time. This kit pattern includes a lot of mixing color strands which adds more depth to the finish project. A small hint to those not profficent at cross stiching, use masking tape on the edges of the fabric to prevent fraying instead of basting a stich around. Its saves time and works better than basting. (I wish someone had told me this earlier!)

DMC Light Effects Tropical Glow Floss Pack Review

(More customer reviews)
Don't be fooled by the title, Tropical Glow into thinking this embroidery floss package by DMC actually Glows in the dark... it does NOT. I am not even sure why they named this collection Glow, because it doesn't even glow under blacklight. So, if you are looking for glow in the dark thread, stay away from DMC - the only floss they have that actually "glows in the dark" is the white floss they sell at almost $2.00 per skein. I wish I had known this prior to buying this package of floss and being out over $10 -

Z Lap Frame With Clamp Review

Z Lap Frame With Clamp
Average Reviews:

This frame is so great. Easy to put together, nicely made (its hard wood and I was concerned about rough edges, but its really nicely sanded and treated), its very easy to put the item you are working on in the clamp, and it is also easy to adjust the angle to get really comfy. I am working on a large cross stitch peice roughly 2feet by 1.5 feet which I have in a 17 by 17 inch frame and this stand holds it easily. It folds down to a really manageable size and so I plan to take it with me when I go on vacation in August. I can have it on my lap and put my feet up on the recliner so my back is so much happier. Highly recommended.

I really like the fact that there are varing sizes on the needle punches, but they are longer than the average needle punch threader. Trying to find an extra long threader has been a problem and the ones sold by another company are to short to reach the end to thread the floss into. I may have to fashion one that is long enough.It came with one, but when it breaks, then what?
