What is the company that makes Dimension cross stitch kits or a web site for them?
I know you can order cross stitch kits from Herrschner's and Mary Maxim. Both are excellent sources for projects. I noticed they tend to alternate between needlework and knitting in their catalogs. Makes it interesting. Both have web sites.

Cross stitch with whole stitches or backstitch
Cross stitch is a very relaxing and rewarding hobby. Lately it is taught even in schools. It helps people increase their self confidence when they finish a design, it is a great achievement when you put all these stitches your self to create a masterpiece.
Backstitch, also called outline stitch is a class of embroidery and sewing stitch in which individual stitches are made backward to the general direction of sewing. These stitches form lines and are most often used to outline shapes or to add fine detail to an embroidered picture. Basic backstitch is used to outline shapes in modern cross stitch, in Assisi embroidery and occasionally in blackwork.
Whole stitches is done with two stitches and the cross appears as a result. Another way to do the whole cross stitches is to do the first elements of the crosses in a row (typically horizontally) and then go in a backward direction doing the second elements of the crosses. The top stitches should always stay in the same direction otherwise, your project will look messy, even to an untrained eye.
That is the difference between whole cross stitches and backstitch. Usually all the cross stitch kits available in shops have whole (or full) cross stitches and backstitch. Extensive backstitch in a project will sometimes make it look strange. It will depend whether or not you prefer stitching with whole stitches or adding backstitch as well. Backstitch can also slow you down. Normally you will need to add backstitch in your cross stitch project when you finish with all the whole stitches, then you add backstitch to outline the design.
A cross stitch pattern with whole stitches can also give great results. Especially if you are stitching a fine art painting with many colour threads. The more colours in an advanced cross stitch design, the more detail you will get. This will give you a magnificent piece of art to hang in your living room.
Many cross stitchers are afraid to stitch with only whole stitches but I can assure you that if you find a pattern with loads of thread colours and shades, you will not be disappointed by the end result.
