Absolutely lovely! I received this kit from a friend for my birthday after mentioning I wanted to embark on an embroidery learning journey. It was so nice to have all the supplies included that I would need. I loved the videos, even though I did skip a few towards the end once I started to get a feel for things. I now stitch other designs and talk to myself in a New Zealand accent. :) highly recommend of you are new to embroidery to learn the basics! I do wish there were a few other stitches but this kit is great at giving you a good foundation to learn more stitches later on. :)
This was a fantastic way to jump into embroidery! Excellent value, and I followed the tutorial videos; the teacher did a fantastic job of explaining everything in a patient manner and ensures you the opportunity to practice or jump in head first!
I absolutely loved this beginner embroidery kit! The video tutorials were clear, easy to follow, and gave me the confidence to learn each stitch at my own pace. There was plenty of extra thread included, so I never had to worry about running out while practising. This was my very first embroidery project, and although it's not perfect, it's definitely progress. I had so much fun making it and will definitely be ordering another kit. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to give embroidery a try! 🪡🌸
So much fun! I loved doing this. Instructions and videos super clear and easy for a 100%beginner like me. My final project came out beautifully, not perfect, but beautiful anyway. The materials are the best quality. I’m working on the flower and bee dish towel now. I love it! I’m obsessed!
Very easy to follow the tutorial and great kit to learn new stitches! I found myself being very excited to work on it! Shipping was fast.
This was such a fun beginner kit for learning embroidery. The videos were easy to follow with clear step-by-step instructions. I had so much fun doing all the beginner stitches. The woven roses and the chain stitch were my two favorites. I can’t wait to get started on the other kit I bought! I think I found my new hobby!
I absolutely loved doing this! As it was my very first kit ever purchased I was not sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations! I have already purchased and received 4 new kits. Will continue to buy, and am currently looking into joining the Maker's Academy Monthly Membership!
I bought this kit on a whim, and I’m so glad I started with it! I feel so confident now about knowing so many kinds of stitches, and I’m so proud of my finished product. The video tutorials were delightful to watch, and they were perfectly broken up to help you do just a little at a time (whenever you can sneak in a few minutes here and there!) Loved this, would absolutely recommend!
This was my first time cross stitching ever. The kit was great quality. The videos were thorough and easy to follow. The progress over perfection message was helpful, especially as a first time cross stitcher. Definitely recommend.
my wife has stopped talking to me. whenever she has free time she is stitching. she already finished the beginner kit and is now working on cozy cat. this is all your fault
Materials supplied are of good quality. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow (I am a non native English speaker). The embroidery itself was suited for an absolute beginner.
My daughter (8 years old) and I are doing it together as her first project and it has been so easy to follow - and I’ve learned a few tricks too! Love this kit and all of the videos!!
My sister gave me the stitch sampler beginner kit and I absolutely loved it! I had so much fun watching the videos and stitching along. I also love the "progress over perfection" mantra! I've ordered several more kits and I can't wait to keep going. Love my new hobby.
I love how easy it was to learn. Julie's videos makes it easy and fun to learn. Thanks to Julie I now have yet another hobby to enjoy. I can't wait to build on to this skills.
I enjoyed learning the various beginner stitches in the beautiful thread colors. The instruction videos are very helpful and I’ll continue to refer to them as I experiment with more patterns.
I have never embroidered, and it was fool proof with this kit! I loved the videos (perfectly timed, perfect flow). I couldn't wait to have free time to pick it up again. I am very impressed with this product/company!
I learned so much, the videos were thorough & easy to follow. I’ve found a new hobby!
I am soooo thankful I saw an ad for Clever Poppy and chose to give it a shot. I have absolutely fallen in love with embroidery, and Julie is a natural-born teacher. Her videos made it so incredibly my easy to learn. I can’t recommend clever poppy enough!
