TINDTOP 3 Pack Embroidery Stitch Practice kit, Animal Embroidery Kit for Beginners Include Embroidery Cloth Hoops Threads for Craft Lover Hand Stitch with Embroidery Skill Techniques

I wanted to try my hand at embroidery so I looked for a kit that seemed comprehensive but not overwhelming. The butterfly 3-pack kit met that criteria. I love that the abundance of thread was already sorted onto the cards, and that it came with a whole multipack of needles in different sizes. The scissors were a nice bonus, but I already had some. The needle threader was missing the wire part and the seam ripper was missing the red guard, but I already had replacements in my other sewing notions, so that wasn't a problem. The kit also came with instructions on how to do the various stitches inside of each design page, and that's been super helpful for getting me started with the whole project. There is only plastic one hoop, but it's a really well-designed one that snugs your material down as you tighten the screw, and it's held tight as a drum through all the work I've done so far. Great kit with a nice, colorful design, good notions and reasonable instructions (the walk-through video on the product page was also quite helpful). Would highly recommend for anyone trying to get started embroidering, and will recommend for cousins or keep in mind as a gift for Christmas or birthdays in the future.

Purchased the kit as a fun unwind project. I have done some satin embroidery in the past but this kit involves doing some stitches I have not done before. The guide includes the description of color and the stitch type required, and the image guides of what the stitches should be like, but it might be easier to Google videos of the technique. Additionally, you have to learn yourself how to secure the thread with a knot at the start and end, but there are plenty of materials available online.So, overall, if you are an absolute beginner, this project will help you learn and probably your second or third embroidery will turn out better than the last. The designs are similar enough to practice but offer fun variations.If I wished for anything to improve, I wish the color / stitch guide picture was a bit larger. The current version asks for a magnifying glass. And of course, the caption "the time shuttle, taste the joy of handcrafts" was very close to leaving me in stitches (pun intended).

This is a very fun little kit, with good quality materials. The fabric is soft & nice, and the threads are smooth. It included needles and a hoop that held the work securely. The mini scissors were just silly.I would not recommend it for beginners. The instructions recommend specify many different stitches, some of which are quite difficult. The instructions are poor, with fractured (poorly translated) English and only teeny images for guidance. I've tried to google the name of some of the stitches, to find better instructions, but even the name of the stitches are not normal.I still like the kit very much however. Figuring out the problems was challenging, but with three completely different pieces it's a very good deal for the money.

I'm just getting back into embroidery after30 yrs. This is a nice kit, well supplied with everything you need to start and finish a project. However, the directions are not written by an English speaking person and some of the terms used, example needle for stitch, are a little confusion. The biggest problem I have with it is the fact that the print does not wash off. So you better make sure your stitches cover the thick blue lines. The pattern is drawn well. Very clear. So all in all, it's a good starter project if you have access to Youtube videos on how to do the stitches.

Made out of thick and sturdy glass with nice metal feeders. It’s easy to clean and refill so should be long lasting.

So nice to have a kit with thread, hoop, and needles. But what I really appreciate is the pattern is clear and in deep blue, so much easier to see and work with. You can wash out blue print when completed but some kits do pattern in pale yellow print on white and that can be challenging to see details. Plus it is three different patterns and very artistic.

This is a set of fun patterns on clearly printed fabric with a colorful set of floss. That said, the hoop is misshapen plastic (see pic for example of it laying against my wooden one) the needles are HUGE for the design, the little snippy scissors are useless, and the instructions are poorly translated or unclear ("contour stich" is a stem stitch, "French bean" is a French knot, etc). Really nice if you have a bit of your own materials (hoop, needles, scissors, etc) and just want a clear pattern+colors to follow. Great for my purposes, but there are better kits out there for true beginners.

This is a very nice collection! My mother is enjoying the embroidery!
