Color:Flower Mouse Pattern Name - Flower Mouse This is a 11CT Stamped Cross stitch. Each thread in this kit has six strands, please use 2 strands for "Full Stitch" , and use 1 strand of thread for "Back Stitch". This is a relatively easy kit for beginners to finish, the included english instructions tell some basics about stamped cross stitch, but it's not a tutorial. For a complete beginner, you can search for everything you need to get started. Here are some tips about this kit: 1. The printed ink on fabric can be washed off easily. Just hand wash the finished fabric in lukewarm water with neutral detergent. 2. The threads are pre-sorted on the card, which is marked with Arabic numbers. Every number represents one particular thread. 3. On the printed fabric, you will see printed charts which show "Full Stitch", "French Knot" and "Back Stitch". For "Full Stitch" or "French Knot" , please use 2 strands of threads; For "Back Stitch", please use 1 strand of thread. 4. The chart on the fabric has 3 rows : NO. / Symbol / DMC. The first row " NO." is the Arabic number on the card, the second row "Symbol" represents the printed color on fabric, the third row " DMC" represent the DMC number of each Arabic number on the card. For example, the first column of the chart printed at the bottom of fabric shows " NO. 01, Orange triangle and DMC 152 ", this means you should use NO. 01 floss on the card to finish the Orange triangles printed on the fabric, since this chart is marked with "Full Stitch", so you use 2 strands of threads for this part. This Stamped Cross Stitch Kit Includes: Pre-sorted Threads; Pre-printed Fabric; HD Graph; Two Needles; English Instructions

Great for beginners!
Super great kit for beginners! This was my first cross stitch ever and I think it was a good way to get into the craft. I didn’t use the directions, just YouTubed a couple videos about cross stitching. The pre printed design on the fabric was super helpful for a beginner(or anyone) and the whole thing took me a little less than a week. Floss(thread) was pretty good quality, and came with plenty of it. I have tons left over.I decided to do 3 threads instead of 2 to get a fuller look, and still have a lot left over. The only negative thing is the red ink on the fabric is kind of a pain to get out when rinisning the fabric when you are done. There are a couple faint red marks, but not enough to really bother me. Totally can cut the fabric to remove it.

Not enough thread, bad instructions
The best thing about this kit is the print on the material. The squares are easy to see.However, there isn’t NEARLY enough thread to finish many of the sections, and I never used more than two pieces of thread for a single section. The biggest reason why this is is because there aren’t any instructions on how much thread to use for each color.It’s also very hard to understand at first where to use each color thread. The instructions are unclear and needlessly complex. The fact that they don’t specify how many pieces of thread to use for each section leads to a massive shortage of thread for most sections. I don’t think using two sections of thread should make you 50% short on thread for an entire section. Terrible setup on this kit.

Amazing
HA they got me I didn’t read enough. It is stamped to help out don’t fret it is wash able. Once finish your stitching just wash /soak in like warm water then let dry all the ink disappears. I used a little unscented dawn soap too. Just test what you want to used to make sure it doesn’t act with the ink funny. Mine didn’t looks vibrant and amazing!

What a fun cross stitch!
I am an avid cross stitcher. I just love these stamped cross stitch kits. So easy on these old eyes, the floss is already sorted and ready to go, you get 2 needles and the size is not overwhelming. They have preprinted color guide, pre gridded pattern, and let me tell you, doing gridding before you start your cross stitch pattern is time consuming and you must be accurate or your whole cross stitch is wrong. If you decide you would rather do it as a traditional cross stitch, then all you do is buy your Aida cloth and grid it yourself and start stitching. This comes with a color pattern to do this if you want. You will love ❤️ these kits, fun, easy and a great bargain!

Very cute!
So cute! I bought this so my daughter and I could stitch together--she's using the stamped pattern (she's just learning to cross stitch), while I'm following the printed pattern with my own materials. Both the stamped Aida and the pattern are very clear and easy to work.When we're done, her grandma will get hers, and she will get mine!

Not enough thread. Confusing instructions.
I purchased this kit as I have never cross stitched before. I liked the idea of having the appropriate embroidery thread colors set up. However,as other reviews have mentioned, this kit doesn't provide enough thread. The instructions stated that you could use either 2 or 3 pieces of floss. 3 pieces of floss does not leave enough and 2 pieces of floss shows the color on the fabric.The design is very cute, but it was a complete waste of money.

Good kit for beginner. Easy to work.
Good kit for beginnerFirst time to use a preprinted cross stitch Good for a beginner, who might still ask quite a few questions. Once those were answered she did not have any problems. Kit was complete with 2 needles, needle holder, thread (already sorted), pre printed fabric and instructions Easy to start and she finished it quickly, within a week, so I am sure she will be looking for a new project soon.

Love it!
I wanted to take up cross stitching and was looking for a good beginner kit. This is awesome. It is pre-stamped and is pretty straight forward. I thoroughly enjoy it and the thread is nice. My only complaint is that it seems like they did not supply enough thread, but I am a beginner so perhaps I may not be doing it entirely correctly not leaving me with enough thread.
