Maydear Full Range of Embroidery Starter Kits Stamped Cross Stitch Kits Beginners for DIY Embroidery (Multiple Pattern Designs) - Elephant and owl

This pre-printed cross-stitch kit contains everything you need, including detailed instructions with descriptions for whole stitch, half stitch, 1/4 stitch, 3/4 stitch, continuous stitch, back stitch, cast off, and french knots. Once finished, the pre-printed image dissolves easily in water (so be sure not to get the material wet while working!) Read instructions thoroughly before beginning to make note of items such as, 11 ct uses 3 strands per stitch and 14 ct uses 2 strands to a stitch; but for back stitch 11 ct uses 2 strands and 14 ct uses 1 strand (back stitch is final step in working the canvas.) Preprinted image fits exactly the graphic material, with no half-stitch overlaps, removing confusion. This will be the first cross-stitch of this type completed, and we are expected great results..

This is a very pretty butterfly and the kit comes with beautiful colors of yarn all neatly organized. The butterfly is a nice size and the directions are understandable although in chinese english. They are printed in color, with diagrams on the actual plastic packaging so no chance of losing them. Eight stitches are taught in the kit. I think this would make a nice gift for a beginner or someone who wants a quick and easy project
