A cute but challenging composition
This is only the third cross stitch I've ever started - and what a challenge! A huge amount of detail on 18 Aida with a combination of cross stitch, half stitch, combined colours, 2 thread and 3 thread stitches! I'm enjoying completing it and have been working on it for 5 months now with about 50% of the stitching done.Maggie reminds me of my late mother's cat who now lives with us, so I thought this was a fitting composition, especially as my mother was an accomplished seamstress.The design is lovely and I'm really looking forward to seeing the completed item.My only negative comment is around the number of needles that I seem to have got through. You have to use a needle threader for those stitches that require three threads which puts a huge amount of pressure on the needle eye as you are effectively pulling six strands through it. The original needle supplied has long gone and I'm now onto my fifth needle - but maybe it's just me :(Update : Almost finished it now - it looks stunning, but the cording on the sewing machine is probably the biggest challenge of the lot! My biggest investment (next to the time spent) will be the trip to the professional framing shop - it truly deserves it!

WHAT'S THIS 2-PAGE, FRONT-AND-BACK CHART??
I've bought this kit twice before and finished it with the chart on ONE page... this chart has 2 pages, front and back, and it took 2 hours to find the centre! You can't even put the whole chart together as one because it's front and back on 2 pages! Why have you done this? If you have this kit with a chart on ONE page, as it was sold before, please let me know and I will buy it again! Perhaps you have some older kits with one page? Not being able to see your chart on one page makes it extremely confusing - it's asking for error and trouble to have 4 pages of chart, printed on 2 pages, front and back! If you could provide a one-page chart, no matter how big, I'd keep it! But I cannot wrap my head around it! Charts should be on one page, even if the paper is huge. An A3 chart would be great, as long as you can see the whole chart on one page, as I have bought it twice before! Please let me know if you can sell me one with a one-page chart! Thank you. This chart would confuse Einstein! But it's a gorgeous project - I just cannot do it with this chart!

Interesting design to sew.
Very nice design. Best of all decent size charts so you do not have to go out and have them enlarged. Top marks for that.

This is why I don’t tend to buy kits.
The design is great it’s going to look brilliant finished,however …The thread quality is rubbish, I’m used to DMC and this constantly knots.I’ve been cross stitching for 35 years and know what I’m doing and am frugal with the thread.. however as I reach the last stitches required with the colours designated, it runs out and I have to match with my DMC threads.. pretty poor show and I paid a lot more for it than on here.Be warned.
