When it comes to my craft, a question I’m often asked is: “how do I get started with hand embroidery?”

While I could come up with an exhaustive list of all you could possibly invest in, I believe that overcomplicates things and can be a roadblock to stitching. There really are only a handful of supplies you need to begin embroidering, which is one of the many reasons I enjoy the craft so much! It doesn’t require a lot of monetary investment to get started, and you can always add to your toolbox if you decide it’s something you enjoy.

So what do you need to get started with hand embroidery? I’m glad you asked!
