Review of Dimensions Needlecrafts Counted Cross Stitch, Elegant Geisha

Customer Ratings:

This is the companion piece to Mai-took about 2 weeks to complete, colors vibrant, a little more difficult with hanging vines than Mai, but with a little patience pattern wasn't hard to follow. Easy to separate colors and identify which were which. Really elegant when complete-won a blue ribbon at the fair.

A beautiful pattern. Not stamped, which is something I prefer. I haven't finished yet, but working on this is very enjoyable and manageable. Comes with directions. I had to look up some of the special cross stitches on youtube but that was pretty easy to do. All the threads are organized for you, which is quite helpful.

The colors are beautiful, which what drew me to this project to begin with. Good quality materials, just remember to cut the strands in half before starting so they don't fray and get tangled. I can't wait to see it finished!

Honest reviews on Dimensions Needlecrafts Counted Cross Stitch, Elegant Geisha

I ordered it thinking it was stamped (totally my fault), was intimidated at first to start since it has been a long time since I did my last counted cross stitch. But once I started I really enjoyed it. It is really beautiful. Along with cross stitch it has some other stitches like French knots, back stitch etc which enhances the beauty. It took me some time to finish but it is worth the patience, if you are a beginner I wont recommend it. It is delicate and elegant. Very satisfied with the end product.

I recently bought 3 of these counted cross stitch projects because I wanted to try needlework for the first time. I'm saving this one for last because of the three I bought, the delicate grace of the picture and the truly amazing colors of this one is my favorite. So I am saving it until I have a bit of practice actually working a counted cross stitch. But having started one and looked at all three packages, I know I'll love working on this one just as much!

The thread is very neatly organized and really colorful. I am a beginner to needlework so my opinion may be off, but I thought the thread quality was very good. The package came fast and included the picture, instructions, the fabric, a needle and the thread. I don't know if the pre-organized thread is common or not but as a complete beginner I found it amazingly helpful.

I plan to buy many more of these as I have found working on them to be so much fun.

Updated Review: After working on the Samurai project for a week or so, I found that the needle included in these kits are...in one word: Cheap. It started to bow in the middle and it's changing colors as I hold it in my fingers. This is literally the only fault I have found with these products. I will be buying more of these kits and I love them. I just plan to buy a better needle separately to use from now on. It definitely works if you want to just start out and see if you like it, but for anyone who intends to do more than one, purchase a better needle.
