Embroidery for Beginners
Whether you've just started stitching or have been at it for years, we believe everyone has the potential to create something truly beautiful. That’s why we design all our kits to be beginner-friendly, even if you’ve never threaded a needle before. In this section, we’ll guide you through everything you need to consider when choosing your first project. But fair warning—once you start, embroidery can become wonderfully addictive!
How to start embroidery?
Choosing your first project
When you're just starting out with embroidery, it's a good idea to choose something small and simple that you know you'll be able to finish. There’s nothing better than the satisfaction of framing a piece you have made!
That’s why we recommend these kits as perfect beginner options—they each take less than 10 hours to finish, teach you a couple of different stitches, and give you a feel for the joy of embroidery.

How to finish your embroidery?
Creating unique framed art!
We want you to proudly frame your finished kits and display them in your home! That’s why every kit comes with the option to add a frame. We highly recommend trying your hand at painting your own frame—it’s super simple, quick, and incredibly satisfying. But if painting isn’t your thing, don’t worry! We also offer hand-painted frames that are designed to perfectly complement each kit.
