Still . . .
Been working on this since August, approximately 10 hrs per day, every day (it is now November 15th). Got to within 2 inches of completion and ran out of 5 colors that I could not match with DMC thread! Have had to order extra from factory and they said 3 to 5 weeks! One would think they could put enough thread in their kits to complete the project! Have tons of one color left and short on 10 colors! Dimensions say that they do not use DMC thread and you have to get extra directly from them! Why make this so bloody hard!
I was working on this for a Christmas present for my daughter and her husband (avid hunters) and was well on my way to completing it in time to have matted and framed. Now, I'm dead in the water until the 'factory' gets around to sending me my thread!
I love the detail of Dimension kits, but this is the second one I have done (Butterfly Forest being the first one) and I also ran into the same problem with THAT one! WOULD BE NICE IF DIMENSION COULD GET STORES TO CARRY THEIR THREADS!
Anyone else have any suggestions re this problem? I tried to match with DMC but could not find a close enough match to make it look good. And, because this has taken me SOOOOOOO long to get this far, no way am I going to mess it up by not matching thread! It is beautiful, though!
