As an international customer I love the PDF option to keep cost down. I can stitch from my stash or shop locally for top up supplies. I occasionally order the full kits/sub boxes for a special treat. I am always blown away by the exceptional quality. Also love being an All Star Member, great value, perks and extra discount. CCS also have regular freebie patterns which is so generous. They have built a wonderful global stitching community, the facebook groups are so lovely and supportive.
