Missouri Star Quilt Company review: Red, white, and doom

I was really excited to try the Red, White, & Bloom embroidery project because the advertising made it seem like a simple, beginner friendly embroidery project where I could easily complete one star a day. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience at all. There were no instructions included, so I’ve spent a lot of time searching online just to figure out the basic steps and techniques. Instead of being relaxing and enjoyable, the process has been frustrating and confusing.

The materials themselves seem to be good quality, but this kit would be so much better with clear step by-step instructions, diagrams, or video tutorials for beginners. I’ve had the kit for over a month and still have not completed a single star because I keep making mistakes and having to start over. At this point, I will likely need to purchase additional materials just to continue.
