If you are looking for the same, kindly go through our product search engine .

  • Hoops – Size, material, and purpose of the hoop can narrow down your purchase. Usually, one product of hoop contains two hoops, one large hoop with screw and one small to give a snug-fit enclosure. The materials can be wood, bamboo, or plastic. Wood or bamboo ones are more popular because they tighten the fabric with enough friction in between. However, plastic hoops are slippery, so you have to tighten them more. The third factor that is purpose depends on your project as some design want the hoop to be in oval or square shape. Quilted hoops have a different shape that is compatible with the fabric and the design.
  • Floss – Embroidery floss is of two types: Pearl cotton and six-stranded floss. Pearl cotton is a single strand with varying thickness, and six-stranded is often divided into three strands to work. Out of the two, six-stranded is more popular. The size of the floss will vary as per your project. If you have a bulk of these threads, you should consider buying bobbins. These plastic cards give a perfect organising solution as you can wrap the thread around the card and hang or place them along with others. Also, some floss colour blends with the fabric and ink them. It is important that you shop from reputed brands. Still, do a test after starting the work. You can damp the embroidered portion and see if the colour bleeds. If not, use a flat iron after that and continue working.
  • Fabric – Linen, muslin, quilted cotton, and broadcloth are the best fabrics for embroidery work. Some fabrics that you should ignore are fleece, heavy canvas or denim, fluffy fabrics, and cross-stitch fabric like Aida. You can go for evenweave fabrics of cotton, linen, rayon, and polyester blends. Towelling is also available to embroider both contemporary and retro projects. Ready-made items like pillowcases, blankets, sheets, napkins, coasters, placemats are all ideal fabrics to show your creativity.
  • Needle – The purchase of the needle depends on the type of fabric, weight, type of floss, the density of embroidery, and the stabiliser. Some of you might be comfortable with using the sewing needles with embroidery work but keep it away for a more complex design. The embroidery floss is gentle, thus prone to damage itself with the sewing needle. The size of the embroidery needle is also bigger and is not too pointy. You can determine the quality by looking at the material. It can either be chromium-plated or titanium-plated, out of which the latter one is more durable due to the fact that these are less prone to warping, bending, or breaking during production.

We hope the tips are enough to bring out the best in your embroidery kits. As we have been mentioning the tip of buying kits from reputed brands only, we would like to list a few such brands. These include Disney, Japenese Embroidery, Bunka Embroidery, Spotlight, Brother, and Caydo. If you are looking for any of these, our retail search engine is what you explore for it.

Question & Answer

How do embroidery kits work?

The application of embroidery kits depends on your purchase and purpose. You can choose to buy a pre-printed fabric with a design like zenbroidery, or you can trace it yourself from the paper. Your purpose could be making a sample or carrying out a whole project. Thus, the kits vary, depending on the factors we just mentioned. In the same vein, these kits work by providing you with enough supplies to serve your purpose. A kit may have hoops, fabric, floss, or a pre-printed design.

How do you start an embroidery kit?

The first thing you need is your fabric, which may come with a pre-printed design or you start by tracing the design from paper. You can dampen the fabric, put the design paper over an illuminated object, and then put fabric over it. Draw the design using removable ink. Do not trace all your design at one go as the ink may fade and you anyways have to redo it. Now you want the hoop, so get it and tighten the fabric with it. Get your floss after that, divide the six thread floss into two-three thread yarns, put the needle, and place a knot. This is it! Your fabric is ready to get embroidered.
