Pros: the design is just beautiful and fun.
Cons: Thread does not come separated and the task is daunting. It took me 6 hours to separate all the thread. Here is how I did it:
1. Separate into like colors. (blue, red, pink, etc)
2. Look at the color chart in the directions. See how many shades there are of any said color. It helps to know how many shades you are
separating the color into, because some colors have several shades and look so much alike. Sunlight helps with the more difficult ones.
3. The directions also tell you how many strands for each color shade, so once you have separated them, it is easy to figure out the correct color
name for each color shade.
4. I cut strips of a cereal box and put a slash at each end of the strip. this will secure the thread as you wind it around the strip.
As for the stitching, I opted to do my own thing. I shaded as was needed for distinction, but I did not follow the directions for all the shading. It was too intricate for my liking and patience. So, if you can make it though the thread sorting, but feel discouraged by the directions and the intricate shading, then let me encourage you to choose your own colors and shading, like you would if you were coloring in a color book.
