What are the Best Embroidery Kits for Beginners?

The best embroidery kits for beginners are our floral kits, such as the Summer Daydream Embroidery Kit or the Meadow Embroidery Kit - Coral & Mint. These and similar kits are available on our website and in-store and are ideal for beginners, as they teach many foundational embroidery stitches and skills.

What Does an Embroidery Kit Include? 

Most of our kits include the supplies needed to complete your project. Here’s what each type of kit generally contains:

  • Beginner kits: Cotton fabric with a pre-printed design, a 6-inch embroidery hoop, full skeins of embroidery floss, an embroidery needle, online stitch tutorials, and a stitch guide that includes tips and tricks for an easy start.
  • Intermediate and advanced kits:  An embroidery hoop, cotton fabrics, a transfer pattern, full skeins of embroidery floss, an embroidery needle, beads, backing materials, and full color printed instructions. 
  • Peel stick and stitch kits: 6 or 11-13 single-use and water-soluble peel, stick, and stitch designs, depending on the kit you choose. 
  • Stitch samplers: A screen-printed pattern on cotton, an assortment of embroidery floss, a No. 9 embroidery needle, and a link to a downloadable online guide.
  • Doll embroidery kits: A screen-printed pattern on cotton, printed backing fabric, a No. 9 needle, a range of DMC embroidery floss, stuffing, and step-by-step instructions. 
  • Mending kits: A design printed on a water-soluble stabilizer for easy placement plus clear instructions. 

 

Note that not every kit includes an embroidery hoop or scissors. It's recommended to have an embroidery hoop on hand, along with a pair of scissors for cutting the floss to the desired length for each project.

 

What Themes of Embroidery Kits Do You Offer?

We offer kits in floral, nature, animal, and more themes. Our kits range from beginner to advanced levels, so everyone can enjoy them.

What are Stitch Samplers?

Stitch samplers are patterns used to practice, demonstrate, or experiment with embroidery techniques and stitches on a single piece of fabric. They're especially helpful for beginners to practice and build their embroidery skills without risking an entire project.

What are Embroidery Patterns?

Embroidery patterns are decorative designs that are placed and stitched onto fabric to create images or textures. Our peel, stick and stitch patterns let embroiderers customize their embroidery project to be laid out exactly how they want it. We offer peel, stick and stitch botanical patterns, vegetable patterns, landscape patterns, and more. 

What is Mending With Embroidery?

Mending is when a water-soluble adhesive template is used to transfer an embroidery pattern onto fabric to cover stains, repair holes, or add decoration, creating visible mending. This art turns damage to unique designs. We offer mending templates in floral, square, geometric, and many other styles!
