When you are new to embroidery, sometimes the easiest way to start is with a kit. I put together a little roundup of the best embroidery kits for beginners, so you can be sure to find one that will work. Lots of these embroidery kits come with the patterns already printed on the fabric, so you don’t have to worry about how to transfer an embroidery pattern. You won’t have to figure out which supplies you need, and the instructions will be laid out for you. If you’d like to skip the kit, and try your hand at just using a pattern, check out my beginner embroidery patterns roundup. Also make sure to take a look at my How to Embroider for Beginners series.
