Post Review Friday || "Doe" from Dreamer Designs || Are 2.0 Kits Better? || Plus Advent Day 15

Thanks Laura, this is a nice finish. I agree with you on the squares by DD. I like the round kits much better! I am currently working on "Checking His List" which is in round and it's going well. Before this one I did "Cozy Christmas Eve" (I think that's the name) and it was one of the new squares. Loads of trash and there was gapping, but I didn't hate it when done. I'm with you and plan to stick to rounds from DD if I order from them. Love your pen, it's very pretty and looks like a great shape in your hand. See you in the next video! Cheers.

Ty for your honesty. I am going to start on my one KRkit rapunzel during the beginning of the year. It's my 1st DD kit as well. Wish it was a round instead of a square

I have yet to do a DD square but I have a couple in my stash (I’m a Romi Lerda fan). And those ones are beautiful!!

Thank you for this review. I have gone back and forth with this piece in my cart for a little while. I finished a Dreamer Designs piece for Drills and Chills and I had many of the same thoughts you just spoke. It was “fine,” but I just did not enjoy working on their squares. At one point I gave up on looking for same size squares and became “okay” with the gapping. It was my first piece I finished from them and I questioned whether I will like them at all. I will definitely try a round kit to see how that one works up.

She's really pretty.

Ok, I'm a tad nervous now. I purchased about 6 kits from DD on black Friday and 5 of them were squares... Apparently I may need to break out the mica powder if there were gapping issues. I've done 2 or 3 of DD kits in the past, but they were all round.. Thanks for another great video! I really appreciate your post-reviews.. they are informative and honest.

I hope you have better luck! Please let me know, I would be interested to know if the squares are consistently an issue or more random.

I am in the same boat. sigh......

Wow. 👍💖🌹

Gorgeous finish❤, too bad the drills have not been updated

[@bambimae2925]

I bought a few of the new kits in squares but haven’t worked on them yet. Just by looking they look better than their old kits. I’ll have to let u know later my verdict on them.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Please do!

I had thought they were going to be tightening the field and improve the drills, no? The only ones that I know of that have the updates are the Overseas collection and that the full roll out should be on 10/1. I'm waiting to buy until I KNOW they've tightened the field and fixed the drills because I CANNOT do a kit by them again with the old way. Like, NEVER AGAIN

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I thought so too, I was expecting more actual changes to their kits versus the box/branding etc. I have a couple of round kits coming from them, one of which I'll be working on next month, so I'm curious to see if they've made any additional chances since I worked on this one

[@HouseOfMiscellania]

@diamondpaintingsbylaura the rounds seemed to be okay (including the oldest version), but the squares (including the 1.5 update) are just a MESS. I plan to either buy from the Overseas Collection (which is supposedly a 2.0 update) or October when the update fully rolls out. You should be safe with rounds, though!

My current WIP is a DD kit and I'm about 1/3 of the way through.... and I've run out of 7 colors already! Luckily I have a stash... it's been REALLY frustrating.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Oh no! 7 colors, that's so frustrating!
