Comments about String-Along Lacing Kit and Pattern Cards:

The product permits any pattern, but comes with several durable cardboard sample patterns. The colorful, thick laces are very durable, too. There are many colors, and there are 2 of each color to permit longer patterns.The "punch pen" isn't intuitive to use. [...] I can't remember how it is supposed to work. I keep getting the pen caught on the thread and not knowing how to pull the thread out without undoing the stitch. But it's still possible to punch the thread through without stringing the punch pen.I would like to use this product for teaching strokes for writing Chinese characters (like ABC sampler cross stitch of old), but I'm still working on developing patterns.
