General Kit review

I really like the way you organize the floss (by DMC number-yay), and am very pleased with the generous size of Aida cloth you provide. The only drawback to your graphs and kits is that you print the graphs on both sides of the paper and the center of the project is always near the edge of one of the pages. I'm old school and ALWAYS start my projects from the center (less fabric distortion), then move outward. But the quality of your kits is superb.

Hi Mary! Thank you so much for the kind words :D just wanted to add a note that if you would like your printed charts to be done on single page printing, you can request for it on the notes at checkout and we'll be happy to do that for you.

Cheers!

Great!

Pattern includes instructions on how to care for your wip, and washing/ironing when your project is complete. pattern is complete and appears easy to follow. i look forward to making it. :))

Love it!

Just received my Boreas kit, the colours are simply gorgeous!!! Package got here in Canada very rapidly. I would have given a five star review if the option to get an enlarged pattern would have been still available. This is my 3rd kit and it won’t be my last!

Hi Johanne, thank you so much for your review and valuable feedback! Although the option for larger patterns are gone, you can always add a note with your order if you would like your printed chart to have larger symbols. But definitely ok if you still want larger than that :)

UPDATE: We have done some amendments to our site today to make it easier for you to request for a larger symbols chart for either your kit order or PDF. In every product, there is a link in the bottom FAQ to add the option as a product to each order.

Good Job

Thread was nicely packed.

Thank you!

The item got here surprisingly fast and very well packaged!
