Hello I have just purchased this item today from a store, I am totally confused and need some step to step help.

I am assuming you just opened the package, and haven't done anything to the cross stitch.1) Get masking tape and tape all the sides. This prevents the fabric from fraying.2) Sort all the threads according to color. Usually they provide a thread sorter so you can put the colors according to the color #. Sometimes its confusing what color is what when you have so many colors of the same hue. You can double ck the color is accurate by checking how many threads are in that color. You can find the # of color strands on the color chart.3) Start in the middle of the fabric. You want to start there and move outward4) Find the symbol that stands out the most and start from there.5) just keep adding to what you've done (its exactly like a puzzle; always work off of what you have already done)DO NOT try to jump too many squares just to stay with the same thread. I have found of I count more than 4 squares I make an error in the counting. Once you miscount it is very hard to figure out the error and get back on track. You can leave that thread hanging, and once you do the other color start it back up again.

Hi, Is this authentic dimensions gold collection cross stitch? I saw one review said that this is fake item. Thanks.

Yes, In my opinion this is very much an authentic cross stitch from the Dimensions Gold Collection. I hope this helps in your decision.

Hi, does this kit include the pattern already printed on the canvas or we have to count and cross stitch ?

This is a counted cross stitch kit which means it comes with plain fabric and you count the stitches from the chart.

How many colors does the piece contain and how large is thr canvas?

There are 45 colors (each of which is included in this kit). The canvas is 16 inches by 12 inches.

Wonderful kit

This kit is as good as expected from Dimensions. Excellent all round. Lovely 16 hpi pale blue Aida, beuaitufl colour threads of good quality. The chart is very well detailed with Dimensions usual 'how to' on reverse in pictures & words showing how to do the stitches.This is far better than the Benway copy kit which I inadvertently bought several years ago - I did not realise it was breaking copyright rules. The fabric Benway supplied was not very good, threads lacked lustre & obviously that is why Benway kits are cheaper. But, they do break copyright laws as do all kits which are copies of original designs & kits from proper cross stitch/embroidery. I have not stitched the Benway copy one but am looking forward to stitching this Dimensions one.Far too many copied kits are available now although they are sold against copyright regulations. This is why designers lose much of their income.Edit. Just ordered another of this this time for myself. for myself. Gave away he other Japanese Garden kit as a gift but I really want to stitch it, will definitely keep this 2nd one as it is bound to beautiful when worked.

Beautiful

Stunning cross stitch kit. Not for beginners but a great project for experienced cross stitchers. I have completed many cross stitch kits but the Dimensions Gold range are on a different level. The amount of detail creates a really beautiful finished picture.

Lovely detailed designs.

Bought this for my mum, she hasn’t started it yet but she was very pleased with the design. She has sewn several designs from this maker before and loves the detail and the colours and thinks for her they are the best kits available.

Good pattern

It is nice..I am working on it at the moment and can’t wait to finish it. Just hoping that the threads/strands are enough for the whole pattern.

Gorgeous

Absolutely beautiful cross stitch kit with everything included to get start. Best for an intermediate to experienced stitcher rather than a complete beginner as it is quite complex but people who are used to stitching should have no problems with it.Stunning kit.
