Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit 4PCS,DIY Bookmarks Cross Stitch Kits for Beginners,Stamped Embroidery Bookmark,14CT

Just received in todays mail and have already made a great start for next christmas :) This is a good piece for beginners although I have done lots of cross stitch over the years.

Really nice little kit. The initial plain packaging made me think this was not going to be a good kit but when I opened it, it was really nice. Particularly like the thread organizer.

I bought these to make as a gift, they came out really nice although some of the spots the paint is bleeding into other squares it’s hard to tell which color was which, but came out really nice. Design:Some paint bleeding

I've never done cross stitch before. Received the product which has very basic instructions, so watched a few videos online. Started at the bottom and as I was working upwards realized that the print was skewed a bit to the left side. The holes were not straight up and down because the print was off. Since the product, being a bookmark, would have to be trimmed it would have had some empty or halfway cut off cells on that side and would not be a true rectangle. About 10 rows into it I knew it was just going to look wrong when I was done, so gave up. Also have no idea what to do with the large piece of felt that was included. Guessing it is backing. No instructions on how to apply it. Packed the other three bookmarks and all the thread back up and will take it to the senior center where someone with experience probably knows how to make it work.

The book marks are beautiful They work as desired,

I found the instructions easy to follow. The kit was exactly as advertised and included plenty of floss. I have a lot leftover. A beginner might find it intimidating because of all the similar colors to create the gradients, but take it stitch by stitch and follow the pattern and you'll be fine.The completed bookmarks are really lovely and I can't wait to gift them to my family on Christmas Eve.

First the symbol is to tiny to even make out. And when you go to stitch. The needle gets stuck and ends up snapping the thread. I thought design was cute. Maybe don't make them bookmarks. But bigger

You can see the guide below shine through if the color is vividly different (Like white covering up black or scarlet red). Gives it a weird appearance.I didn't expect a guide to be on the bookmark itself, but that was possibly poor reading on my part.It's easy to use, easy to follow instructions, and it keeps one distracted. The quality is decent for a 3-pack.
