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 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.
Embroidery Kits for Beginners
What's included in an embroidery kit?
Everything you need to start stitching
Each kit contains everything you need to get started with your embroidery project. The designs are pre-printed onto the fabric and come with a numbered stitching guide, along with matching bobbins of colourful thread—it’s like paint-by-numbers, but with thread!
All our kits come with the option to add a frame, or you can explore the beginner bundles below, which include everything you need to stitch, paint, and frame your creation!
Can you teach yourself embroidery?
Our how to video guides accompany each kit
You can absolutely teach yourself embroidery. If you want to build your skills in a really structured way, then we have a Start Stitching embroidery course, which covers all the basics of embroidery. But you do not need to do this!
Every one of our kits comes with a video, as we firmly believe the best way to learn is through seeing. Through these videos, we will show you every step in the stitching process so you constantly have us guiding you through the creation of the piece. The more you stitch, the more you'll learn.
Is learning embroidery difficult?
Virtual embroidery courses for beginners
One of the best things about embroidery is just how simple it is! With only a couple of stitches, you can create something truly beautiful. We believe the easiest way to learn is by watching, so all our kits come with a helpful video guide. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to learn the skills to create your own designs, our virtual course covers all the essentials and introduces you to a dozen different stitches. You’ll be stitching like a pro in no time!
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.
