When you want to embark on a new creative hobby, you sometimes feel a little worried. It is often the fear of not succeeding or of doing something wrong that prevents us from trying. However, starting embroidery is sometimes scary. This yarn art impresses and it seems complex.
However, starting with a beginner's embroidery kit allows you to leave your fears behind. Taking your first steps with an easy-to-make embroidery kit is, in fact, ideal. This avoids searching the web for tutorials and patterns that don't match your level. In this article we tell you why a modern embroidery kit for beginners is a good idea.
Start with an easy-to-make embroidery kit
The main fear with embroidery is the impression that this hobby is very complex and inaccessible. In fact, it is a vision that focuses on the choice of material, the various points to be made, the finishes to be done, etc. All these blocking elements disappear when you have a complete embroidery kit in your hands. A Beginner Embroidery Kit has been designed for someone who is a novice and therefore has the essential characteristics to start without technical difficulties.
A model to embroider accessible to all
As you surf the web, you discover great designs to embroider . If it is natural to want to reproduce them, you also have to ask yourself the question of the accessibility of the project for someone who is just starting out. A long and complex project can be discouraging. Also, if it comes with a pattern and you're not used to reading it, the letters and numbers that indicate the stitches or the colors of the threads won't be very meaningful.
At French Kits, we work on our models to make them accessible to beginners. If they are made by illustrators, they are reworked and simplified to be easily embroidered. These are not patterns that we offer, but specific tutorials. A technical booklet summarizes the stages of the project and video tutorials guide you step by step on all the technical gestures. You have a clear vision of the embroidery and move forward easily without having to decipher a pattern.
A printed embroidery canvas accompanies each kit
Generally to reproduce a pattern on the fabric, it must be transferred. This is a tedious step, where you have to draw the pattern on the canvas with an erasable marker or a pencil and tracing paper or specific paper. The plot may be approximate and lose quality compared to the model.
We have therefore chosen to provide a printed embroidery canvas in each of our kits. Thus, the kit allows you to start embroidering immediately. The layout is already done, all you have to do is follow the instructions.
Start with a complete modern embroidery kit
It is sometimes difficult to choose the material for beginners in embroidery . There are rules to follow so as not to be mistaken in your purchases. Choose the right needle depending on the fabric, for example. But also find which threads will match the size of the eye or which colors will go well together. If you start from a pattern, you will have to look for all the references in the shop. You will spend a lot of time there and you risk bringing home a lot of spools of yarn!
The necessary equipment for an embroidery beginner
What do you need to embroider?
- An embroidery hoop as a creative medium;
- An embroidery needle;
- An embroidery canvas;
- Coordinated wires with the right diameter.
In our beginners embroidery kits we provide everything. Also, you don't need anything else to get started. Our canvas is made in France and printed. Very pleasant to work with, we have designed it so that it does not wrinkle and is perfect for hoop art . This is to present the embroidery in the embroidery hoop, as if framed. It then becomes a home decoration that can be hung on the wall.
We preferred to opt for a circle of 10 cm in diameter which is well suited to this type of project. In addition, to learn how to embroider, it is easier to choose a small project, which takes less time to do. With one of our embroidery kits , make your first creation between 1 hour and 3 hours.
Our embroidery threads are made of cotton. They are soft to the touch and have a different rendering from most embroideries that can be seen here or there. They make the embroidery softer with a fluffy look. In each kit, we provide you with an amount of yarn that allows you to do the project and a little more in case you need more yarn or if you want to make a mini project. The advantage is that you don't end up with a large number of reels on your arms.
