These bookmarks are so cute. I got the set that has cats and stacks of books. They are all very very cute but there are a few misses here. The instructions are very minimal, there is no instruction on how to keep the edges from fraying, how many strands of floss to use, or what to do on the spaces that cannot fit a cross stitch. One other thing that may not be an issue for others, on the bookmark with the stack of books and the teacup, the bottom book is not symmetrical. Overall I still really like these and the price is great. I can figure out the minor flaws for myself.

The patterns are super cute. The color shading on the charts is often too light to tell it's even there. No instructions. Charts would be better if symbols were used to show the different colors on each figure in each pattern. Color placement is very vague. No instructions on how many threads to use for stitching and outlining.

I love the idea of these bookmarks, but the directions are just awful. You get a half sheet of paper that looks like it was printed on a dieing inkjet with instructions on how to stitch. Fortunately, I'm not a complete novice so I really didn't need those. BUT, the printed keys for the bookmarks are just as bad. The patterns for all six book marks is on one half sheet of paper also printed with the same dieing inkjet. Each pattern is only slightly larger than my finger. It's also printed in the same shades as the floss, so when there's 3 shades of gray right next to each other it's really hard to tell where it changes color. But it's a stamped kit so no big deal, right? Weeell.... The canvas is also printed in the same colors as the floss and it's also very faint in places. And each individual bookmark doesn't have a color key for that project printed on it as stamped bookmark projects I've bought elsewhere have. You have to guess which floss to use based on the tiny, blurry color key on the half sheet of paper. But I really love what the pattern is supposed to be so I kept it and I'm struggling through it. Don't buy this unless 1) you really love the patterns, 2) you already have at least basic stitching down, 3) you're okay with flying by the seat of your pants on color choice, and 4) you have really, really good eyesight.
