Embroidery samplers

These stitch samplers are a great introduction to embroidery stitches! Each stitch is printed right onto the fabric with an easy-to-follow lettered guide, and kits include a finished design in the center using all the stitches learned in that sampler (except for the Beginner kit).

Kits include:

• screen printed pattern on cotton fabric
• range of DMC embroidery floss
• no. 9 embroidery needle (not included with Beginner)
• link to a downloadable online guide

For all kits, you’ll also need an embroidery hoop and scissors.

The finished samplers fit in a 6" hoop for framing, or you can use a 3” hoop to display just the central design in all kits other than the Beginner.
