I'm in the process of this kit, and so far it's been great. EVERYTHING is in the kit short of a scissors, so it's great to be able to keep everything together. Even the fabric was already in the hoop so I only needed to thread the needle and get going. Note that the pattern uses the full 6 strands of the embroidery thread, and the french knots and lazy daisies are 12 strand. I'm just struggling to get that through the fabric. What's helpful is andotheradventuresco.com has stitch tutorials and videos specific to the pattern so lots of resources and information for the beginner. I look forward to the next kit!
