Pistha 8Pcs Art and Crafts Sewing Wooden Bookmark Stitch Embroidery Kit + 12pcs Sewing Threads for Beginner and Teens(Not Include Instructions)

These were a hit for a girls night it took us a minute to make patterns but it was fun

Got this for my daughter for Christmas. She like sit but I wish it came with directions.

Great kit to use for teaching the grandkids to stitch!

My son (7) wanted to learn how to cross stitch, but even a 14 ct fabric was a bit hard for him to hold and manipulate when just learning. The blanks were easy for him to hold and stitch on. That said I have a couple other thoughts on this product.1) The blanks are about a dollar each (ignoring the kit comes with floss), which is very reasonable.2) We used six strands to get good coverage. You may need to buy additional floss to use all of the blanks. Floss is cheap and readily available, so not a big deal.3) The needle that comes with the kit is cheap (and honestly useless). I happen to have a large sewing collection so I got out a large tapestry needle. If you don't have a large tapestery needle on hand, consider buying yourself one to avoid the hassle of the cheap kit needle that will break. This is why I took off a star.4) The kit comes without any patterns (and the description says so). Be prepared to get out some graph paper and draw some patterns for yourself.5) The kit comes without any instructions (and the description says so). As such, this kit is good for teaching a beginner, but NOT self-teaching as a beginner.Overall, my son has enjoyed me teaching him how to cross stitch using this kit. If he or one of my other kids wants to stitch more but isn't quite ready for aida cloth, I would buy again for the wooden blanks.

I purchased this to start teaching my eight year old son basic stitches. He likes it very much. Definitely good for a beginner cross stitch. I placed colored dots on the wood to help him determine which colors to make his patterns. You can choose your own patterns when using this kit. The wood, while I have not measured it, is of decent thickness. We even stained some of the wood pieces before he cross stitched on them. It is not packaged as a giftable item, however, I think if you put it in a small box it would be fine.

This product is sold for beginners and kids...with NO INSTRUCTIONS?!That's an excellent way to learn if I do say so myself!!

Good colors and great for learners!

It is great to help beginners, what would be nice is if it included a pattern packet with different design ideas.
