How our reviews break down

Every rating is shown, including the 18 one-star and 11 two-star reviews. We do not remove a review for being unfavourable.

How we collect reviews

We ask after you have the product

Reviews are written by customers we invited by email once their order had been delivered — so every review here comes from someone who actually bought the item.

We do not remove unfavourable reviews

A review is only ever removed if it breaks the law or is not about the product — abuse, another retailer's problem, or someone else's personal details. Never for being critical. The breakdown above is the whole picture.

    Elbesee Embroidery Hoop 8 inches

    JaneB

    To be quite honest I was a little disappointed by the hoop. I bought 'a better quality' hoop to use as my working hoop, planning to use my bamboo ones just to frame with. I had to sand the Elbesee hoop and could still feel little splinters so I haven't used it.

    RIOLIS Good Morning Embroidery Kit

    Riolis embroidery kit

    I chose this as appealing to kids as granddaughters have started cross stitch pictures, thought this might be something different? But the beads are absolutely tiny so probably not ideal for children unfortunately. Will find another way to use them, but as I got them in the sale we can be imaginative without thinking we paid a lot!!

  3. ROSEMARY

    Elbesee 18 x 12 inch Easy Clip Tapestry Frame

    Disappointed

    Frame arrived quickly and was well wrapped. It didn't take long to assemble but when working a tapestry the clips kept falling off no matter what strategy I employed to prevent this happening. In all honesty I couldn't recommend the product.

    DMC Stranded Cotton

    Miss S Harvey

    I ordered some thread and although it came very quickly and stitcher was very helpful the thread did not the colour I still had although I gave the right code. So was unable to use.

  5. Katherine

    VDV White Peony Embroidery Kit

    Inadequate

    Lovely printed picture but all the information is in Ukrainian & scant, luckily I asked a friend to translate for me & still none the wiser, no advice on what stitches so I’ve gone ahead with mostly long stitch. The worst aspect is the lack of threads! Only FIVE colours & nowhere near enough for the project. Yes, the description of them is accurately acrylic but it has the texture of fine wool, which I have before & know that only single stand should be used & have some left over from another kit but not enough for the many different colours so I’ve have to mix it with cotton threads, very different in texture &hope it will not ruin the effect of finished piece. Not impressed at all with this, my first purchase.

    Diamant Floral Elegance Tapestry Canvas

    Colours

    The suggested wool colours provided with this large piece were rather garish. Non availability of the anchor sample cards eventually lead to a complete swap out in favour of Appleton’s wools of which I happen to have the sample swatch. Not the most accurate of printing either so somewhat disappointing this time .

  7. Janet

    Permin Hardanger Bookmark 1 Embroidery Kit

    Not impressed

    This is definitely not a beginners kit. The pictures in the instructions do not really match the pattern. I have done hardanger before, so i could decipher it.i was going to give one kit to a novice and she would have had no chance.

    Permin Hardanger Bookmark 1 Embroidery Kit

    You need experience of Hardanger to do this.

    I think it should have been made clear that previous experience of Hardanger is absolutely essential. The instructions are pitifully inadequate without this prior knowledge. Even now that I have done some workshops I still find the instructions pitiful.

  9. Elaine

    Luca-S Christmas Tree Mini Cross Stitch Kit

    not easy

    the colours on this design are too close together in shade and make the pattern very hard to read. A nice design but difficult to stitch

  10. Elaine

    Panna Anemone Flower Ballerina Cross Stitch Kit

    Fiddly!

    I actually gave up on this one! Very confusing only doing half stitches. The kit itself was well presented and delivery was quick.

  11. Janet

    Luca-S The Poppies Cross Stitch Kit

    poppies by luca

    I found this item very frustrating as there was so many one and two bits which were different colors
