A fantastic embroidery kit for beginners from Tulip. Also great for more experienced embroiderers! By making this sampler booklet, you'll learn 15 different embroidery stitches for freehand embroidery. The most important materials are included; it's helpful to order an embroidery hoop separately. Once you've finished embroidering, you can sew a booklet from the fabric. Instructions for this are also included in the kit.

Contents of the Tulip embroidery kit for beginners:

  • 1 piece of fabric with pre-printed patterns (100% hemp)
  • Tulip needle with sharp point
  • 3 colors DMC thread: #840, #792 and #156 (100% cotton)
  • Clear instructions with many example pictures (English)

Learn 15 embroidery stitches

Among the embroidery stitches you'll learn with the Tulip Sampler: back stitch, chain stitch, lazy daisy stitch, satin stitch, and more! It's truly designed as an embroidery kit for beginners, so you'll find clear instructions with step-by-step illustrations for each stitch. If you still can't figure it out, you can always search for the stitch name on YouTube. You'll definitely succeed, even if you've never embroidered before! Good to know: a skein of embroidery thread consists of 6 thin strands. When you embroider, you usually split the thread. A pattern always indicates how many strands you'll use for embroidery. This also applies to this Tulip Sampler: all stitches are embroidered with 2 strands of thread , unless otherwise indicated. Does this sound like rocket science to you? Don't worry. It's very easy. You cut a skein of thread about 30 cm long and then subtract the number of strands you need. In this video, I show you how to split my thread— easy as pie. Then you tie a knot in the end of your thread, thread it through the needle, and start embroidering! Not included, but useful to order: embroidery scissors and an embroidery hoop with a diameter of approximately 15 cm. Prefer to embroider with colors other than blue or pink? You can also create your own fun color combination by ordering your own DMC embroidery thread colors.

Not included, but useful to order: embroidery scissors and an embroidery hoop (e.g. one with a diameter of approximately 15 - 20 cm).
