The Best Embroidery Kit for Absolute Beginners (That Actually Sets You Up for Success)

Starting a new hobby like hand embroidery can feel like equal doses of excitement and overwhelm. “Where do you begin with learning embroidery?” “What embroidery supplies do I need?” And “how do you even know if I’m doing it right?” 🫣

If you’re brand new to stitching, let me save you some time (and frustration!) and share with you that the easiest, most joy-filled way to learn embroidery is with a truly beginner-friendly embroidery kit - one that’s designed by someone who’s been where you are now, and knows exactly what you need.

This post breaks down exactly why an embroidery kit for beginners is the smartest way to learn, what makes a good embroidery kit, and why the Beginner Blooms Bundle might just be exactly what you need to get started! 😍👇🏼

Why Start with an Embroidery Kit (Not a Random Supplies Haul or Digital Pattern)? 🪡

When you’re learning how to embroider, there are a lot of ways to go about it. And whilst there is no ‘right’ way to learn, there are certain ways that are so much easier, and some that are more beginner-friendly than others.

Here’s what tends to happen if you go it alone:

• You grab a digital pattern... but then realise you need so many supplies, and you have no idea which ones are good, and which ones you might not even need 🫠
• You hit up a craft store and walk out with cheap tools like bamboo embroidery hoops that don’t hold your fabric tight, and cheap threads that tangle every two seconds
• You sit down to stitch and suddenly feel overwhelmed by vague instructions and unfamiliar materials.
• You end up giving up with learning embroidery, because this is way harder than you thought it would be.

Sound familiar already? 🙈

Starting with a well-designed beginner embroidery starter kit is like being handed the map, the tools, and a personal guide - all in one beautifully and carefully packaged box.

And the bonus? It’s delivered directly to your door! Everything is there. Everything works together. No guesswork, no waste, and no crafting chaos. Just pure stitching fun, where you can get started right away!🪡

(The dream, right?!)

But, Not All Embroidery Kits Are Equal: Why Quality (and Source) Matters

Sure, you can find embroidery kits everywhere - Amazon, Etsy, even your local discount shop (🫣). But, most of those aren’t designed for real beginners, and the materials? Not great. At allll.

(And on this topic, kits you find on Amazon, Temu and Shein are often designs stolen from real artists - myself included - with cheap, knock-off supplies and zero instructions… but that’s the topic of a whole other blog post!)

Here's why it matters where you get your Embroidery Kits from:

• Cheap hoops can splinter or warp (annoying and painful, but also resulting in slipping fabric - even more annoying and painful 🥴)
• Generic needles bend or break, or cause rust to come off on your fabric
• Thread can fray, knot, and easily bleed colour into your fabric
• Instructions (if they exist at all) are often unclear, rushed, or missing basic steps. Or worse? Completely generated with AI, so they’re not even real (😨)

And digital-only patterns? They absolutely serve their purpose, and I swear by using them to learn embroidery and improve your skills - but unless you already know how to choose the right materials for your projects, they often end up gathering digital dust!

👉🏼 What you really need is a curated kit made by someone who knows how to teach embroidery from the very first stitch - with clear instructions and supplies that actually feel good to use!
