Really wanted to learn embroidery so I picked up several kits and I have now officially completed my first one! Hope you like! :)

    How was working with black fabric? Did you lose stitches?

    Edit: until I saw the moon I thought this was cross stitch, not embroidery. The questions still stand, but I don’t know if they’re as relevant

      I did lose a couple stitches but overall it went very well! I haven’t worked with anything else so I didn’t know that this was a common thing with black fabric, interesting!

      You can get started quite easily with complete kits on Etsy (check to make sure it comes with a hoop). Try to go for a small piece for the beginning.

      Take your time when stitching and undoing parts is at least for me not out of the ordinary :D

      I learned that I like cross stitch more. So I can highly recommend to try it as well.

      Definitely what ComfortableRaspberry said, get a kit (this one was a kit and took me a couple weeks just doing it in my free time) and take your time! Enjoy it, and with all first attempts, don’t be afraid to suck!
