I really like The Stitchery and Counted CrossStitch also. I think they have an
excellent cross-section of styles and designers. Customer service has always
been excellent when I have called and orders are filled and shipped very
quickly. If I could change one thing about them it would be giving me the
choice to buy just the pattern versus the kit. Most, but not all, of their kits
come with Aida and I prefer non-Aida fabrics. This not a complaint, just a wish
they would kind of thing. The kits I have bought from them have always been
high quality. They also have a "club" you can join for $14.95 a year that gets
you 10% off everything you buy in the year. If you are a frequent shopper there
or are placing a big order/buying a high ticket item it is a nice little perk.
I also like the little bios they do on different designers in each catalog.
