hi! i'm newer to stitching and while i can do a counted cross stitch, they're not my favorite and i far prefer printed/stamped. i recently finally came across some of the chinese brands (Yishu, Mona Lisa, Huacan) and wondered if anyone can offer some expertise on the quality of the kits / final products. I have a feeling the photos may not be all that reliable, but I've found a few pieces I would absolutely love to stitch.
Does anyone have any experience with these types of stamped cross stitch kits, have photos of completed pieces from these brands, or any tips for how to find decent quality stamped kits?
FYI, if the issue is only low quality threads, I'm totally fine using my own DMC. The harder part is finding printed aida! (I much prefer aida to the stamped linens/plain cloth.)
EDIT: i've gotten a bunch of comments confirming my suspicions that these are AI-heavy and the level of detail would not come through in the cross stitch format. my real question is for those who do successfully stitch on printed / stamped aida — where do you find it???
