I am rather enjoying being back in Australia with access to good stores again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-86988498106351794052012-11-13T21:05:54.318+10:302012-11-13T21:05:54.318+10:30Thank you for the feedback everyone.

I'm looking forward to these being available! <br />Regarding kits - I've seen kits with only fabric and threads, kits with everything and in-between. Admittedly, the include-everything kit for a specific finished project, like those above, was dreamy to work with, with no running around getting things, but if a little less inclusions meant less cost, maybe I would buy more? A bit of fence-sitting here!Ellainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-70470405952587307112012-11-13T03:24:08.522+10:302012-11-13T03:24:08.522+10:30I think many people appreciate the convenience of ...I think many people appreciate the convenience of a complete kit, especially newer stitchers who don't have a deep stash to rely on. The advantage of a pattern is that people can choose to make something else with the design, or change the size, etc. So I do agree with Anonymous there that if it's possible to offer both, that could be a good way to go.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-61123915202948245552012-11-12T21:34:11.475+10:302012-11-12T21:34:11.475+10:30I have not done a kit since I was a child.

I imagine each individuals reason for prefering kits (or not) may be different. It may be a time issue, you know, they don't have time to find a pattern, put the pattern on fabric, and all the fiddly stuff, so they prefer kits. Or it could be that they are relative beginners and have not yet built up the confidence to do the fiddly bits themselves. It could also be that they do not like the fiddly stuff, and kits are available in numerous places, so they just do that. Another item may be that certain patterns will be more appealing to people who prefer kits, and other patterns appeal to fiddly-preference people like me.<br /><br />Anyhow, it might be an idea to make both kits and patterns available, and it will give you an idea which is more popular, and tell you whether or not future kits are a good idea. Testing the waters so to speak. :-) <br /><br />Nice cushion and case by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
