Challenging counted cross-stitch with delightful resultsApr 16, 2010
By Erica Kolatch
Dimensions' Baby Express Birth Record in counted cross-stitch is an extremely detailed design with many color changes. the kit comes with everything you need, and as an added bonus the version I received already had the thread bundles separated by color onto cardboard thread holders. It would be helpful if the cardboard headers showed the symbol as well as the color number. The current method requires a three step process, 1# look at the chart for the symbol; 2) look at the list of symbols to find the number; 3) find the number on the thread holder.
The three color chart is full size, and the designers have made a concerted effort to use contrasting symbols, but if you have trouble differentiating the symbols I would recommend taking the chart to a color copier and having it blown up onto several sheets. #Remember that this is a copyrighted product and while you could make a copy for personal use, you can not make a copy to share.#
The actual design is full color and works up nicely. One enhancement that is easy to do independently is to add half cross stitches of color to squares where diagonal outlines include white space into the design.
My final concern is that Dimensions states that their thread is custom dyed. If you need additional material you are instructed to contact them directly. I have not had the need, but it could cause delays in finishing the design. I prefer designs that reference standard thread colors #DMC or Anchor# but the design was cute enough that I went ahead and purchased it anyway.
Challenging, but great results!Apr 29, 2012

I began this cross stitch when I was 2 months pregnant and finally finished once my daughter was about 4 months old. This is a very time consuming cross stitch, but the end results are wonderful! Looks exactly like the picture! I didn't have the same issue as some of the other reviewers regarding the amount of floss - there was more than enough to finish the project; and the needle worked till the end.
 Brilliant!Nov 25, 2011
By Bridget Mitchell
This was my first ever cross stitch and I really enjoyed it. The chart is colour coded and I found it easy to distinguish between different threads. End product looks fantastic.
 VERY DISAPPOINTEDNov 22, 2011
By Donna L
I am VERY disappointed in the Dimensions Counted Cross Stitch Baby Express Birth Record. Upon initial glance it is a darling design however after a closer examination of the chart I have found it to be very poorly designed. There are Xstitches outside of the design area and areas where there is no stitching rather than using 1/4 stitches and the backstitches are not from block to block and will have to be done as "long" stitches instead of backstitches. I would never recommend this pattern to anyone. IF someone wants to spend hours completing this picture their finished product will look like a beginner did it because of the sloppiness of the designer. I was really looking forward to doing this for my new grandchild but I doubt I will waste my time finishing it. If all of Dimensions kits are like this one.... I will NOT EVER purchase another one.

I have had my eye on this pattern for a long time. Now that I"m going to become a Grandma I had a reason to buy it. I"m so excited to get stitching on it. The kits is very nice with the floss all divided for you. The pattern and instructions are great also. Very happy with the whole kit. Thanks so much!
