Begginers hand embroidery,  follow me as I learn how to do the art of hand embroidery and invite you to learn with me.


To start embroidering, you'll need the following items:

embroidery hoop -
this is a ring consisting of two parts. You put the fabric in between the hoops - this helps keep it taut, making the embroidering easier. These come in plastic and wood - I prefer plastic for doing the embroidering and wood for displaying the embroideries.

small, sharp scissors-
You can find these under many names - though a google search for "embroidery scissors" will get you what you need. :D

your fabric of choice-
Linen, quilting cotton, canvas and osnaburg are all great choices! It should not be too loosely woven or too tight.

embroidery floss-
 This is cheap and comes in TONS of colors. 

embroidery needles. These have bigger eyes than normal needles to accommodate the size of the floss.

A marker -- 
a marker or other marking tool. This way you can draw designs onto your fabric...
