Sail Away Baby Birth Recorda Cross Stitch Kit by Design Works

The pattern is really cute, although the chart symbols could be bigger, and several are similar so be very careful when pulling colors. The floss quality is EXTREMELY poor. It frays, knots and breaks very easily. They give you the DMC numbers, so do yourself a favor and toss all of the floss they give you and replace it with with DMC floss. You will be glad you did.

I love the image! Just what I wanted. Very cute However- the pattern is incredibly difficult to follow because it is far too small, and the icons are too similar. I haven't finished it yet but suspect that the aida cloth is also on the small side, making it necessary to sew on extra fabric in order for it be wrapped around the backing so it can be framed. If I had it to do again, I would have bought a bigger piece of aida cloth and discarded what came in the kit. But the biggest issue is the difficulty of reading the tiny pattern. Mary R

Love the pattern! Looks beautiful. The only crappy thing was that I ran out of 7 or 8 colours. I didn't waste any, I've been doing cross stitch for over 25 years. Had to have them send it 4 separate times. I would totally recommend this one, just be prepared. Perhaps they will add more?
