よいキットですが、初心者向けではないかも
Maydear社の同じキットがいろんな出品者から売られているようですが、実際に購入したこちらからレビューします。日本製の初心者~中級者向け(オリムパス他)のキットをいくつか作ってから取り組んでみました。海外製の図柄印刷済のキットは初めてで、いくつか発見がありました。難易度と仕上がり:1日数時間ずつ(ほぼ毎日)やって、3ヶ月弱かかりました。色の数が60もあるので糸替えの頻度が半端でなく、裏がすごいことになってしまいました。図案が印刷済でなければとても無理だったと思います。初心者向け、とはいえないんじゃ、というのが最初の感想です。糸はオリンパスの糸より若干太くてひっかかりがある感じでしたが、刺すのに支障があるレベルではありませんでした。糸番号表にはDMCの色番号が記載されていますが、DMC純正の糸なのかどうかはわかりません。maydear社のHPを探して見るとオリジナルの刺繍糸を販売しているので、DMCと色を揃えた別物かもしれません(ちなみにHP見るとamazonで扱っていない柄もいろいろ売られていて楽しいです)。商品の説明写真とは違って、実際はスリットのあるオーガナイザー(写真参照)に掛かった状態で届き、使いやすかったです。糸の量は十分でした。写真はすべてを刺し終わったあとの残量です。使用量が少ない糸では倍以上、使用量が多い糸では2-3割増し程度入っていたと思います。布はかなり厚手で布目もわかりやすく刺しやすかったですが、厚手すぎて枠をはめるのは大変でした。印刷はズレも少なく(多少はありましたが支障にならないレベル)、最後まで薄れたりかすれたりもほとんどありませんでしたが、一部、見分けがつきにくい色があり、紙の印刷図面と見比べながら刺す場面もありました。そのとき、布上の記号と、紙図面の記号が違うので対応が面倒で、布の色番号表にチャコペンで紙図面の記号を書き入れてしまいました。完成後、お湯で洗うと印刷も何もかもスッキリきれいになりました(写真参照)。実物の印象ですが、布地に直接インクをプリントするのではなく、水に溶けるごく薄いフィルムにプリントしたものを特殊加工で布地に接着しているような感じでした。それで印刷が鮮明な一方で、ただでさえ厚めの生地がもっとゴワゴワしていたのではと感じました。いろいろ書きましたが、始める前はキットの品質を含め不安いっぱいでしたが、思った以上にきれいなできあがりで、とても満足しています。

Wife lived the design
My wife has been doing cross stitch since I met her 28 years ago and hadn't done any in a few years and saw this one and had to have it to get back into it. It's huge ans complex, but she'll get it done, she loves it.

Here to dispel a lot of myths
Almost every negative review is due to people not knowing anything about cross-stitch, or ultimately use Google. This is my very first project, and with very little Googling, I have had zero problems other than the normal cross-stich problems (mostly tangling my thread. My fault.)"There is only one stitch" No, there are 4. Full stitch, half stitch, back stitch, and French knot."You can see the pattern through the stitching." Correct. You are supposed to wash it off when you are done."I ran out of string." I'm not finished yet, but I have had extra of everything. Were you splitting your threads down to 3 strands (2 strands for the backstitch?)"The pattern on the cloth/paper don't match the string colors." Correct. They use higher contrast to help you work on the project. There are 4 colors of pastel blue alone- If they tried to use the true colors on the cloth you would not be able to tell them apart. Rely on the paper for your backstitching. Rely on the canvas colors for everything else. (If you hit an illegible part, refer to the paper copy.)"The fabric is too stiff." I have been 'hand-sewing' mine instead of using a hoop."The holes are too close together." They are perfectly uniform and very cleanly punched. This is very strong and durable Aida cloth."It's scratchy." Your hands are too dry. If they were not, it would not catch on your skin.Of note: I filled in my background because I'm a little craft crazy. I changed a thread color to increase the contrast a little (I think colors 23, 24, and 25 are too similar. I will probably swap one of the pastel blues out for a pale cyan for the same reason.)It is not nearly as confusing as people say if you have any amount of patience. Very much for beginners. (But EXTREMELY time consuming!)Happy stitching!

Sunflowers are it!
My daughter loves sunflowers and has decorated her house accordingly. This cross stitch picture is looking so good in her house even if I do brag on myself just a little. She loves it. I love to cross stitch and I love making her happy. Great picture. Great hobby too.
