I recently picked up hand embroidery after many years of other crafts. I searched for kits that could be completed quickly and inexpensively. These are wonderful. Very nice quality fabric and threads. I'm so glad a chose these. Arrived quickly.

I bought these as a gift and I was surprised at the quality for the price paid. I waited to review them until the recipient had finished stitching them. She shared that the crewel yarn was ample to complete the projects and the fabric was a nice weight. They were very pretty when completed. Instead of using embroidery hoops, she decided to make them into small pillows.

While the patterns are cute and the directions are relatively straightforward, the smallness of that pattern is a lot. This particular one I am working on from this kit primarily uses 2 strands for the stitches. This leaves almost zero room for error, and adds difficulty especially if you have mobility issues (like myself)If I had used this kit when I was first starting out, I would have been extremely discouraged with the projects outcome. These tiny patterns with less strands require you to know exactly what you are doing.I do legitimately love this product, everything is up to par. I just wish this wasn't listed as being for beginners. There is probably someone out there that tried learning from this kit only to have a skewed sense of the difficulty level. If I saw this listed for beginners in that situation, I would be horrified to think about what would be considered "intermediate" and run for the hills.Rating it 4 stars because the product is lovely, but the listing is inaccurate. I hope this helps someone find the right kit to start learning.

I made these for my new granddaughter’s nursery because my daughter in law wanted something with authentic looking wildflowers. They turned out beautifully with so much detail in the flowers and grasses. I had to machine wash them to get the blue pattern off but it worked fine. We added a little border of lace on the embroidery hoop before hanging them up.

Perfect for my first time embroidering. It was fun and doable. Good directions for this beginner.

These kits are really fun and come with everything you need to complete the project. I have found there to be more than enough thread for each project. Being new to embroidery it's hard to figure out the techniques to do the stitches properly by reading a paper so I did have to use YouTube to figure most of that out. Once I figured out the stitches I found these kits to be very entertaining and the finished pieces to be pretty impressive. Super cute for gifts or just to display at home.

I bought these to mostly practice embroidery for a gift for my boyfriend and now it has turned into one of my favorite pastimes! I am an advocate of doing something to busy the mind while also being enjoyable and exercising of the mind as well instead of scrolling on our phones or binging shows--like puzzles, word games, coloring, reading, and other things. Embroidery has now become one of those things for me and it is truly relaxing when I want to take a break. This one specifically is so cute and I could hang them on my walls as decor! The directions are so easy to follow as well and you learn so many different types of stitches through it. I love this and it is so inexpensive as well! Definitely worth it.

I had never embroidered before and thought this was an awesome beginner's kit! Came with 2 needles each pattern (6 needles total), plenty of thread, and IKEA-esque picture instructions. I ended up watching tutorials on YouTube and had a great time working through these. The pictures instructions were pretty accurate but it's always nice to have a visual demonstration.
