from United States on 11/23/2023 - Take Time To Read pattern I always have quick delivery with the items I order. This pattern is exactly what I wanted. It is understandable and the pattern itself is readable.

from United States on 10/27/2019 Arrived in a timely manner in perfect condition.
from United States on 06/24/2019 - For advanced stitchers I wish the description had stated that this pattern requires the Bargello stitch, a satin stitch edge with eyelet centers, Milanese corners, an eyelet stitch, a double rice stitch, and some extensive stitching over one thread. If I ever get to this pattern, it will be a learning experience.
from United States on 09/17/2018 - Jeannette Douglas Designs Take Time to Read is just another wonderful design by Jeannette Douglas. She does embellishment stitches with most of her designs which make them an awesome stitching experience. Each piece is a new learning experience!!! Highly recommend her designs.
