I'm never unhappy with the Dimension Gold Collection counted cross stitch kits. In fact, it was a Gold kit ("Stately Palm") which first introduced me to the craft over twelve years ago.
I've read some reviews of the Gold Collection kits which warn these are not for beginners. I disagree! When I picked up my first Dimensions Gold kit, I found the directions to be CLEAR and easy to follow.
As is true with all of their kits, "European Bistro" is clearly charted and in color to help the stitcher follow the chart. I usually start by making myself a "working copy" of section of the chart so I can freely highlight each line as I work through the stitching. It might also help to enlarge the chart a little bit if you make a copy to stitch from, but it certainly isn't a requirement.
The other HUGE benefit to the more recent Dimensions Brand kits is the PRE-SORTED floss. This is a huge time saver!
I'm accustomed to keeping my flosses in "Floss Away" baggies to help keep myself organized and prevent losing or wasting any unused pieces of floss. I have never run out of flosses while working on a
Dimensions Gold kit, but I believe the company will send you extras of any fibers you might run out of while stitching.
I give this kit an A+ for design, use of color and clearly written directions/charting. If you're new to cross stitch there is no reason not to "exclude" yourself from trying this or any of Dimensions' projects. If you love the design, I think you'll be motivated to stitch more often and finish your project. Give this craft a try! There are lots of videos online and plenty of stitching groups to explore on Facebook. Have fun!
