Louise Maelys Animal Embroidery Kit for Beginners 3 Set Adults Crafts Needlepoint Cross Stitch Kits

This is a great item! It has clear instructions and everything you need to create the project.

Cute

I have never hated a squirrel more! The tail took forever!....that said, it is a pretty and colorful set. Just mind that if you are new to the craft is going to take a little practice and a lot of patience (damn squirrel!)- be mindful with your floss. Happy embroidery!

Great material. Great pattern. The lines were thick and clear. Challenging enough to keep it interesting, but easy enough to not get too frustrated. I love this kit. My only complaint would be that the floss would knot and fray pretty easily.

This was my first time ever with embroidery. While the kit was a bit confusing at first, there are instructions but no real info on how to begin, I was able to do some online research and watched the YouTube videos.I am so happy with how it turned out! The water soluble design came off quickly with a little soaking. I choose to use a different ring for the finished product since the plastic it comes with looked too cheap for a gift. I also did a bit of research into how to finish a project and am very excited to gift this to my sister!

I am really enjoying this embroidery kit. I have never really embroidered before, so I did have to YouTube how to thread and knot the needle and how to separate the strands. I am not sure if I would say this has all of the information a beginner needs, but it does have all of the materials. It comes with plenty of thread, as well. I will definitely have thread left over. Overall, I think it is a good beginner kit, but you will need to look up a few quick videos if this is your first time.

I am new to embroidery and making these as a Christmas present for my daughter. I love the blue background fabric! It's perfect for a night time theme! Unlike most sets it comes with 3 hoops! It has easy to read instructions and plenty of thread so no need to panic about running out.

I bought this product in an attempt to start embroidery and for the most part, I've found it very therapeutic. However, with that being said, it takes quite a bit to get the hang of it or to know what to do. Inside each package (there are 3) are the strings, needles, looms, and an instruction packet. The instruction packet generally shows you how many strings to use, what colors go where, and basic pictures of different stitch pattern you would do. To me, someone who has never done embossing before, I found everything confusing. I didn't know what it meant to use "4 strings" (if you don't know, within one big strand of string, there are 6 smaller strands that comprise it). I loved that they provided links for youtube videos to help you with the stitching, but it still didn't change the fact that it was difficult to understand the images and videos of the many stitch patterns. Once you got the hang of it, it was actually very simple. The designs are cute and relatively easy to understand. They provide all the materials in the kit and it's all very organized as well. I might buy more embroidery it's if I can get used to everything! Overall, if you want to start embroidery, this kit is a great start for you to determine if you want to continue it more.

This was my second time doing needle point and this kit was an absolute blast! I had a lot of fun doing these three patterns and have gotten lots of complements on them. Kit comes with everything you’ll need and more. I would recommend this to anyone looking to have a fun time with needle point.

This is decent for a beginner and someone who wants to practice the basics. There are a few things to be aware of though. The first is that the colour of the thread does not match the image. In fact it is way off. The red colours are shades of orange; browns are greens; and yellows are a fluorescent yellow. These are just a few examples. So if you’re expecting it to completely match then you shall be disappointed. And I am not comparing the threads with the image I see on my computer screen. I am comparing them to the printed image that came in the set. The second thing to be aware of is that it comes on an Aida cloth. It is very very stiff and the weaving is a little difficult to work with. BUT, I believe it is good for a beginner to start with this type of fabric. Because it’s stiff you don’t feel like it’ll tear and you can be rough with it. The last thing to keep in mind is that you will not practice a wide variety of stitch types. I recommend reviewing the pictures as closely as you can to see what type of stitches you’ll do. However, taking everything I’ve written into consideration, I still think this is good for a beginner. Also, since I’m using this to practice neat stitching the colour of the threads don’t really matter to me. I’ll probably buy more. Hopes this is helpful. Thanks

Finally managed to finished it. The quality of the cloth and needle wasn't good. I found it very hard and time consuming as the needle would just not get through due to the poor quality of cloth. Also the eye of the needle should have been large as it was too small for 6 strands. I am sure I would encounter same issue with other 2 kits that came with this one.

Great designs with a sense of humor! Fun to do and very relaxing.

I like these embroidery hoops. They are good for beginners. Love the colours and that they provide a couple of needles. I just found the written instructions for the types of embroidery weren’t super clear but easy fix was YouTube.
