    Darling stocking, but not the stocking of the past., November 13, 2012

    Rating design, this stocking is a 4.5. It is darling and full of detail that really comes to life as you sew the stocking, however I was surprised by how small the toe is compared to other stockings I have made. This was my 4th stocking I have made, and the 6th stocking in my family immediate family, yet the toe is a scarce three inches deep compared with the 5 inch deep toes of the older stockings. I thought by initially looking at the picture that the smoke stack was sewn to part of the toe and the wheels were also attached to the body of the stocking, but the “engine” of the stocking is all you get in toe. For a small child who will hopefully get a lifetime of use, the stocking doesn’t stuff very well.

    I am scoring this low because some of the felt was thin, and relatively poor quality, plus the design paint wears off very easy. I found through careful handling, I could for the most part preserve the pattern, but it wasn’t near as easy as previous stockings. Plus there are areas that were to be sewn last in which the paint was nearly all gone by the time I got to that section. Thank goodness for the picture to keep me on track. I also noticed that the candy cane stripe at the top is sequined on half of the red stripes, but sequins are not called for closer to the holly. I fortunately had enough thread and sequins to add my own so the stripe looked even.

    So as much as I love the look of the stocking, I would say the design and quality doesn’t compare to the Bucilla Stockings of yesteryear. This stocking doesn’t have the quality of the stockings I made from this company 10 and 20 years ago.

    I chose this with a bit of trepidation. My mother-in-law had created about 20 Buscilla stockings for various family members over the years which have always held a place of honor. I wanted my young grandson to be in on the family tradition, but was concerned that it would not turn out as well, since I am not the master-needlewoman that she was. My concerns were unfounded. The directions were easy to follow, and it turned out beautifully. I will definitely be creating more as my family grows.

    Great-grandmother is excited about making stocking for her first great-grandchild. All materials were in kit. As indicated in other reviews, having the picture will be important as instructions are not specific, i.e. directions for embroidery stitches are in the directions but not where they are used.
