Dimensions Needlecrafts 3895 Counted Cross Stitch, Rocky Point

The "Pocky point" is one of the most beautiful counted cross stitch kits you can find on the market and definetly my favourite. Totally worth time and money. The details are amazing, the colors are vibrant, and when you finish, you'll have a pretty realistic picture. The embroidery floss comes pre-sorted and is organized well, the Aida is good quality, multicolor chart is easy to follow. I'd say it is an upper-intermediate difficulty kit, not suitable for the beginners, and may take long time to finish (5 month for me). This project also shows what impact combining different tehnics (cross stitch, half cross stitch and back stitch) and using not only solid, but combined colors too, brings to the finished piece.

This is definitely for experienced cross stitchers. I found it helpful to scan the pattern into my computer and transfer it to my iPad so I could mark it off from a .pdf instead of paper. Being able to zoom in is awesome. Gridding your fabric is also immensely helpful. I did mine on a scroll frame and I’ll never go back to a hoop unless the project is small. I did mess up and started in the wrong place! Rookie mistake. I did an entire panel (1 of 6) before I realized my mistake. I had to remove all of my work and the thread I had used was not salvageable. I thought I would run out for sure on all of the sky colors, but only ran out of one! So there is plenty of floss included in the kit. I cross country and danish stitch and have heard that those styles use the least amount of thread. I’ve always loved Dimension cross stitch. They are high quality kits.

Phew! This is finally done! Finished piece is beautiful and looks like a painted picture. Colors blend in nicely and there is no pixelation effect as you get with low quality cross stitch designs. I didn't run out of thread and in fact have quite a bit left. Kit requires cross stitch, half cross stitch and back stitch techniques. This is definitely not for beginners and would take considerable amount of time to complete. I got some fraying issues with some of the threads but nothing too bad to affect the final look. I didn't cut the thread in half as instructed and used the full length so maybe that's why it frayed a bit. Overall quite happy with the kit, happy with instructions, happy with the finished piece. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this cross stitch picture. Took a long time to finish and probably is not for a beginner, but it is now finished, framed and hanging in the living room. For those who like to cross stitch and don't mind it taking months to finish, this is a great picture. Highly recommend it.

I love this picture with the crashing waves and beautiful colors and ordered it even though I have some difficulties with 18-count Aida cloth (I'm getting old and it's harder to see the small stitches). I would not recommend this for beginners--try some simpler and smaller first, preferably with 14-count Aida cloth. However, it is a beautiful picture, and I do hope to finish it. I just need to take a break from it now and again. When it's done, I know it will be beautiful!

I've been cross stitching for almost 30 years. This is the first one I'm actually making for myself. This pattern is very easy to read, I'm just not crazy about the 18 count cloth. I normally use 14; perhaps 16 would be a happy medium, still fine stitches but easier to see. One person gave this one star because the cloth was blank. Well that is the point of COUNTED cross stitch - you count the squares to see where to stitch. That person should be looking for STAMPED cross stitch. Step 1 before anything else, take the thread off the organizer and put them on labeled bobbins. I redid the legend in an Excel spreadsheet and put them in numerical color code order, my threads are also in numerical order in the craft box. This makes finding your colors much easier and keeps the threads from getting knotted. DO NOT cut the threads in half as they suggest, this will result in a lot of waste and the thread that's too short to work with very quickly. I just started it and I'm well aware it will take a long time and that's fine with me

Please do not order this kit if you want the winter forest scene. "Rocky Point" is actually a lighthouse on a shore. Click on the customer provided photo to see what the actual kit looks like. I made the mistake of ordering this kit, thinking I was ordering the winter forest scene and was very disappointed to get the lighthouse, and am now trying to get a full refund and had to return the kit. Then I was told by Supermart that they did not have the winter scene kit in stock. I found it at Joanne's Fabrics and ordered from them instead. The winter scene kit is called "All is calm". I am also disappointed that although I brought it to the attention of Supermart that the wrong picture is displayed with this kit, they have not changed it yet.

This is one of the newer printings of this kit. The paper is more glossy and a little thicker than typically included with a Dinensions. You get 2 cards or floss and a cut of raw edge 18 count ivory Aida. The kit included two needles, one of which broke pretty quickly. The head tends to be sharp so be careful using them.

Los colores son muy bonitos,me encanta!

Très beau avec beaucoup de détails. Beaucoup de boulot en perspective pour le terminer mais le résultat en vaut le coup.

wie bereits von anderen Dimensions Stickpackungen gewohnt ist auch dieses Stickbild von hervorragender Qualität. Dies Betrifft sowohl die mitgelieferten Garne (Farbqualität und auch Menge) als auch den Stoff. Die Anleitung ist gut verständlich, alle zu verwendenden Sticharten sind auch für Anfänger gut erklärt und in Bildern dargestellt. wie bei allen Stickmustern üblich ist auch hier natürlich Geduld bis zur Fertigstellung erforderlich. Alles was man zum Sticken benötigt ist in der Packung enthalten.

Perfeito

Loved the challenge of stitching an intermediate level cross stitch Subject matter is something I would like framed and hanging on the wall and should not date…
