Benway Counted Cross Stitch Kit Colorful Lucky Tree Flowers Tree 14 Count 15''x15''

Still working on it. It may take years! It is the hardest cross stitch I’ve done. The colors change so often and many time there are only a stitch or two of a color in close proximity. What I’ve done looks nice and the thread and material are great. The pattern is easy to read but in 4 parts and not printed so you could put them together. I made copies so I could.

Very cute pattern. BUT the floss is poor quality and gets fuzzy where the ring rests on the pattern and anywhere you repetitously hold the ring with pattern inside. Difficult to thread floss without a threader. I would call this a moderately difficult pattern. So much color everywhere there is lots of counting and jumping around and tying off again. Will still be very cute when finished and others not likely to see fuzziness. But I decided to give this one a break and start another and wow the floss quality is so much better on the other!

I haven't had the opportunity to work the kit yet, but I'm SO HAPPY with they way it's presented--much better than a competitor's kit I previously rated. This kit has all the embroidery floss numbered and placed on the cards so that I don't have to organize it myself. Oh, and all the floss is included! Though I don't need them, the directions are clear. They included not one, but two needles! They even wrote a warning that that the ink on the pattern, that is printed in COLOR, is water soluble. My solution is to place it in plastic or get it laminated for 25 cents a foot! So happy with this kit!

It’s been quite some time since I’ve attempted a counted cross stitch and this one’s a doozy. It is simple to understand but no easy feat…I wouldn’t recommend it for a beginner. That being said, the quality of the aida fabric is quite thick and sturdy. The package comes nicely assembled with two needles and I appreciated the fact that the thread is separated by color on its own card and easily identifiable. I didn’t find anything wrong with the quality of the thread as stated in a few other reviews and am already enjoying this project. I’m really excited to see the gorgeous finished product!

I have given it 5 stars because I love the pattern and the stitched product is very beautiful, bursting with vibrant, subtly shaded colors. HOWEVER!!!! I'm very disappointed because there are many colors for which there was not enough floss provided - this is frustrating to say the least - and I am quite careful about how I use the floss so I know I haven't been extravagant.Also, it is important for those considering buying this to know that it is NOT a kit for beginners.

Thread is well organized and the colors are vibrant. Pattern is very advanced with constant color changes but the results are beautiful. Not a kit for beginners. One negative remark, the white flowers in the finished product are to be left unstitched with the fabric providing the white color. I think this leaves the appearance of an unfinished product and plan to buy white floss to complete the project.

More complicated than expected

I wish it was stamped because the chart is very hard to read since it has so many details in the picture.

I'm impressed with this cross stitch kit. The Aida is hemmed to stop it fraying, clear chart and colour key. There's a lot of work in it, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this cross stitch!I've only done small kits before this and I'm not an expert but I'm finding it easy to follow. I find it better to get all the thread you need for each section split into 2 strands before you start, as there are several different colours in each section. I wouldn't recommend for an absolute beginner though.

I love this. I found this easy and very effective. Love the colours and plenty of thread.
