This is the first cross-stitching kit that I ever bought and I admit that the designs are very pretty and the materials are of good quality. After figuring out how to assemble the stockings, they look great.
However, there were a few problems that I had:
1) My needle broke half way through the project;
2) I got double the light green floss and half of the green floss and, of course, I already ran out of green, which is essential for Christmas themes. Maybe it is just my kit, but it is a great inconvenience;
3) The instructions for assembling the stockings are rather vague. I figured them out after some thought and, at the end, they didn't work well for me. I ended up stitching rather than gluing all the pieces together and, I think, the result is great. It takes extra work though;
4) Polyester fiberfill and cardboard (which you will need) are not included. However, there is extra white floss to make the cording loops (and instructions how to make them).
Overall, these are great designs (some better than others), but getting to the final result is very time consuming and requires some extra effort and skill.

These are very cute designs, easy to make. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because some of the designs were hard to follow (hard to make out half-symbols) and it would've been nice to have clearer instructions on how to assemble the stockings.Best Deals for Bucilla 86261 More Tiny Stockings Counted Cross Stitch Ornament
some of the symbols were hard to distinguish when partially hidden by the backstich lines, and some of the backstich lines were very similar and it was difficult to identify which was which on the pattern.I will make them up as tiny stockings as this is where I think their real charm lies rather than in being made up merely as ornaments.
