  1. I love you guys… however when I clicked through I did expect to see a book review rather than Amazon’s product description. I very much enjoy these types of books and would have like to hear what you personally though of the content. Maybe a better title would have been “New Book Release” or some such thing. Thanks for listening.

Let’s dive into what makes this kit so great. It comes with three patterned embroidery fabrics, each adorned with a beautiful floral design. Alongside these fabrics, you’ll find an embroidery hoop to keep your fabric taut, three colored embroidery threads, and a generous supply of nine embroidery needles. Plus, the kit includes a comprehensive embroidery book, guiding you through 28 different stitches – perfect for beginners looking to expand their skills.

One of the standout features of this kit is its ease of use. The embroidery book provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions in English, covering everything from handling embroidery thread to framing the finished product. Each embroidery pattern is printed directly onto the fabric, making it simple to follow along and practice your stitches.

Additionally, the kit includes practice fabrics specifically designed for beginners.
