Nonie: I am experienced in many types of embroidery but haven't done any in years. I decided to start again with an easy kit that had everything (all of my tools were gone) since I have arthritis and wasn't sure I could still do it. Happily if I go slow I can and liked that everything I needed was in the kit. The outlines are easy to see, and there is plenty of floss. It's not DMC quality but acceptable for the price.
Luckily I still have my books and written stitching resources because the included stitching instructions are somewhat difficult to follow, and the ink in many instances is faint. I found myself going back to my books and illustrations and doing several of the stitches the way I was used to. This is a nice kit but you will need better instructions especially if you're a beginner.

M.K.M.K.: It’s a nice design and good for a beginner. This is only my second embroidery piece and I was able to complete it without much trouble as it calls for just 3 or 4 basic types of stitches. I like the little scissors that comes with it, but I used a different hoop that I already had. The one in the kit may be good for displaying it once done, but it looked like it would be hard to get the fabric on and off, so I didn’t try it.

My only complaint is that I ran out of thread in 3 colors, but had extra in several others, so they need to adjust the way they figure out how much you need for the pattern. If you buy this, be prepared to either improvise and change which colors you use, or save your thread scraps so you can go to the store and match the colors to buy more. That’s what I did. Spending a couple extra bucks on thread wasn’t a huge deal, but it was kind of inconvenient.

All in all, it’s still worth the price, especially for a beginner. I made enough mistakes to learn from it, but not so many that I wanted to chuck it at the wall and quit. That’s a success in my book!

Amazon Customer: This beginners kit is very well put together. They even organize the threads for you, as well as including scissors, a hoop, and a threader. However, the instructions are written by someone with a very poor grasp of English. I have embroidered for years, but if I had to rely on these directions, the kit would be lying in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. If you're thinking of buying this kit for a true embroidery beginner, don't.

Toutefois, prévoyez devoir acheter du fil supplémentaire, les quantités sont insuffisantes, à moins de broder à la perfection, et encore!

もこもこ: 必要な道具が全て入っているので、初心者でも取りかかりやすいです。でも、説明書が英語でしたので、自分の刺繍の本を見て作りました。
とても、可愛くできて、満足です。
