What do you need for embroidery?

You want to learn embroidery with children or as an adult and don't know what you need? Apart from embroidery needles the most important accessory for embroidery is an embroidery frame, in which you can stretch your fabric. Embroidery frames are available in small or large sizes, and we offer a wide range of embroidery rings in a variety of sizes.

What fabric should I use for embroidery?

We recommend beginners to choose monk’s cloth (needle work canvas or Aida fabric) or a non-stretch cotton fabric. With fabrics that will stretch it is a basic principle to work with an inlay. These fleece inlays are often water-soluble or can be simply pulled away on completion of the embroidery.

How do I transfer the embroidery pattern?

To transfer the embroidery pattern, you can use either a water-erasable pen or a transfer pencil, which transfers the pattern by means of heat. If you are embroidering on washable interfacing, you can transfer your pattern with another pencil. However, the important thing is that there should be no marks left behind on the fabric.

Which embroidery thread should I buy?

Embroidery thread is sold in sets or in individual skeins. Sets of embroidery thread have the advantage that the colours are already coordinated with each other and you do not have to bother about the ideal colour combination; you can simply begin your embroidery. If you have bought embroidery threads in individual skeins, thread bobbins are ideal for keeping your threads tidy, since otherwise the threads tend to knot together. You can sort your embroidery threads in an embroidery thread box so that you can find them at a quick glance.
