DimensionsCounted Cross Stitch Christmas Pals Ornament Kit, 6 pcs

I am wondering if the reviewers who stated that they ran out of thread were using 3 strands intstead of the recommended 2 strands. I made all six and had thread left over. They came out beautiful, I sent them to my son for his kids Christmas tree. I am going to make some more for myself!

Stitching these took about a month, working at least 2-3 times/week for at least an hour each setting. The thread and aida are high quality, and the colors are bright and vibrant. The instructions for stitching and assembling the ornaments were clear and easy to follow. I appreciated being able to complete the designs in any order I chose. I cut the aida first and stitched the six designs separately, but it may have been easier to leave the aida intact and cut when all six have been stitched.Overall a wonderful kit with six cheerful, charming designs that work well alone or as part of the set. The finished ornaments are not too big and not too small, perfect for any sized tree, or to hang throughout your home.Note: The kit does not come with everything needed to assemble the final ornaments - no fabric glue, no cardboard. It does contain the felt needed to back them.

The designs are cute and directions easy to follow.The only problem was that there was insufficient floss to complete all of the designs. I had to purchase 4 additional colors to complete the projects. I have not had this problem with other Dimensions projects I have purchased in the past.

I only completed 2 of them so far but they are ADORABLE!

I love Dimensions products and this didn’t disappoint. The designs are cute and easy to read. They work up really fast as well. Plenty of thread, full color diagrams, totally worth it.

I was satisfied with the overall product. Very nice pattern.However, as others have pointed out, this kit was short on thread. There was not even close to enough of the two colors used for half cross stitches to shadow the background (pale peach, pale brown). If you do use this kit, don't even start with their floss for those two colors--just use something close. I also ran short on the dark green and dark brown.In the directions in the kit, it specifically says to contact them if you need more floss. There was a website provided for questions. I used that to contact the manufacturer; here is the reply I got:"We are sorry for the inconvenience. We don’t stock thread separately. If you want to check for the DMC brand equivalent, you could get it in a local store quicker. The conversion list is attached so you can check. Let us know if you need further assistance. Special thread orders takes a number of weeks before we can get it to send out."I went to my local craft store and bought the DMC; The green and the brown did match well enough. I bought extra in some of the reds also cause I was afraid of running out and didn't want to have to make another trip--they are NOT good color matches. You could substitute them if you use it for the whole piece, but not if you have already used some of the provided colors.The amount of aida cloth provided was just enough--if you carefully cut it into 6 equal sections (2 rows of 3 across), it worked out. You will not have much margin on several of the patterns. There is enough felt.Overall, the patterns are ok to read. There are a lot of single stitches and open spaces--I used a magnet strip on a metal board to keep track of where I was. The snowflakes are very challenging to do-- white thread on cream cloth. I would not recommend this as your first counted cross stitch project.

The instructions on this are good and as I just started, it looks like there is enough thread to finish the kit. The pieces are a larger than some other kits so it is easy to work.

Plenty of thread left so you didn’t need to worry about running out. Cute design and bright, fun colors. My older children are all trying to lay claim to them for their own homes.
