I had this item sent to a friend for her birthday party and was amazed -- the product arrived within 48 hours of my order. Unfortunately, it arrived with an invoice and without the least indication of why it was sent... but that's not the end of the world. Arrived in beautiful condition and is really a high-quality, gorgeous project.

Does not come with enough thread. Even if you are careful on how you use your thread, there is not enough by a long shot. However I was determined to finish this cross stitch, as I LOVE mermaids. I had to order another kit to complete this one, doubling the price. I researched and found that Dimensions brand is notorious for this problem. I will not be buying Dimensions brand again!

The needle kit C-920, I ordered through amazon.com is just what I wanted in completing my crafts at home. I've
been doing this art form for about two and a half years now with my lovely wife Pam in southern Iowa. I've only
seen these products online though. But the quallity is out standing in everyway. We enjoy doing grateful dead
designs and have pictures available online if you might like to see them? The grateful dead "Uncle Sam" is on
two levi jackets back sides and a "Bleeding Skull" is on the back of a levi shirt. This product is highly
recommended by us both. Thank you very much..

I just completed this x-stitch for my grandson's 4th B-day and he loved it! I had never worked on black fabric and the black stitching on black was exhausting to the eyes. A good spot lamp and shorter sewing sessions worked well. The kit was great and once framed it made a great addition to my g-son's room.

I received this for Christmas from by son. It worked up so cute. The cat has such personality and looks even better than the picture. The tree does get a little tiresome, there are so many different shades of brown and grey, but worth it. The chart was large and easy to read and the colors were easily separated as the chart showed which bundle and how many strands each color was in. Great project.

Dimensions No Count Cross Stitch, Cinderella Review

Average Reviews:

If you're not a dyed-in-the-wool cross-stitcher, this is for you! Most of the piece is already beautifully painted in soft colors. The areas that you stitch are marked, you do not have to count anything. As a long-time stitcher I felt I could have done with more stitch detail, (i.e.- it was very easy to work!) but I can add colors and do some additional stitching on it but it is not necessary, it is a beautiful piece just as is. This would be awesome on a little girl's bedroom wall! And the adorable girl on it is just darling, a real cutie. I enjoyed stitching this, enjoyed giving it to our 4-year old grand daughter, and love seeing it in her room as a reminder Grandma's always thinking of her. Very very cute. You could frame it in almost any soft color and it will look perfect.

Portable Mini 2-speed Sewing Machine with 100 Piece Kit Review

This is a great sewing machine which was surprising considering how mini the thing is. I would say its a good purchase for a beginner (gift idea for children?) or for someone with sewing experience that needs something portable (battery operated).
The only negative thing I can say is that it won't do really thick materials because it won't fit under the arm. But since I didn't expect that considering the cost, I won't let it affect the 5-star rating.

Providing perfect stitch control, this mini sewing machine comes in handy for anything from silk to denim. The machine's user-friendly design offers a top drop-in bobbin for easy threading, automatic thread rewind, a simple on/off control button, and an over-sized button for setting the speed from low to high. Choose either the hand switch or the included foot pedal to start. The unit makes a nice gift for any craft enthusiast, novice or on-the-go sewer, or college student with an eye for fashion. Comes with a bonus 100-piece Sewing Kit. The mini sewing machine uses DC 6-volt power and measures approximately 7-2/3 by 4-1/2 by 8-2/7 inches.
