Bothy Threads Shining Stars Christmas Cross Stitch Kit

I was really anxious to start this work. Different, and should be a really special effect. But..... I do hate giving negative reviews but all prepared I began to work. But the silver thread seemed too thick for the gauge of the cloth. When I pulled a stitch through it shredded the thread. I tried different needles, and re started over and over but in the end had to give up. I was really sorry, I had been looking forward to doing this.
