New to Embroidery? Start Here!
Hand embroidery is a super beginner-friendly craft, and you don’t need much to get started:
- Embroidery hoop (a 4″ or 6″ wooden hoop is great for beginners)
- Embroidery needle (sharp tip, big eye)
- Embroidery floss (start with 6-strand cotton)
- Fabric (cotton or linen works well – even an old pillowcase will do!)
- Small scissors
- A water-soluble pen or pencil for transferring your design
Start with a pattern that uses basic stitches like:
- Backstitch
- Satin stitch
- Lazy daisy
- French knot
- Running stitch
Many of the beginner patterns we share include diagrams, close-up photos, or video tutorials to help you learn these stitches at your own pace.
Pro tip: Don’t aim for perfection – embrace the wobbles! That’s part of what makes handmade work so special.
Returning Stitchers, We’ve Got You Too
Already familiar with the basics? Awesome! We feature tons of projects to help you level up your skills or just try something fresh:
- Try out a modern geometric sampler
- Dive into thread painting for realistic textures
- Stitch on clothing or denim jackets for a wearable twist
- Mix things up with bold typography or funny quotes
- Use variegated threads or specialty floss for a new effect
- Learn new stitches like herringbone or bullion knots
Plus, we’re always updating with seasonal favorites like spring florals, Halloween motifs, holiday ornaments, and sweet little Valentine’s Day hearts.
Embroidery Is More Than Just Hoops
Don’t get us wrong – we love a good hoop for display. But embroidery can go way beyond framed wall art. Some fun ideas to try:
- Embroider a tote bag or zipper pouch
- Add a small design to a baby bib, T-shirt, or apron
- Create bookmarks or patches
- Make felt ornaments with embroidered details
- Stitch on paper, felt, or even wood for a twist
Once you get the hang of it, embroidery becomes one of those peaceful, go-to crafts you can do while watching a show, sitting outside, or winding down at the end of the day.
