Needleart World Ocean Baby Long Stitch Kit

I bought this kit to try out long stitch, which I have never done before. It comes with all the materials needed to complete the project. I found it rather difficult to fit the preprinted canvas into the supplied hoop. Also stitching the motive challenged the muscles in my hands and fingers. I am a seasoned cross stitcher and needlepoint enthusiast. I have a lot of patience and I am used to stitching for hours, but this is a little different. I could only do short sessions for an hour at a time and I had to take breaks every 15 min because my arms/hands/fingers were exhausted. I would not buy another one of these kits for myself. Overall, however, it is ok
