Dropcloth Samplers

featured sampler
With a nod to historic alphabet samplers, I designed this pattern with cake sprinkles and confetti in mind. Mine was stitched in chaotic blend of colors, but you can choose your own palette and stitches. This is an excellent beginner project because it can be completed using only the running stitch. However—you could also choose to mix it up and use a variety of stitches. Bullion knots would be stunning! The design comes printed in permanent ink on 100% cotton fabric, ready to hoop and stitch.

About dropcloth samplers
Think of our samplers like coloring book pages for embroidery—there's no preparation necessary—they arrive ready to stitch. The first two samplers, Original and Sequel, were designed with the stitch names printed right on the cloth. You stitch as you learn, creating a lasting reference for all future embroidery projects. Other designs offer less guidance, encouraging you to make decisions as you go, choosing colors and threads that suit your own tastes. Have you been embroidering for awhile and you’re ready to shake things up? Perfect! Welcome! New to embroidery but ready to jump in? Great! We have custom Creativebug classes based on our most popular designs that are ready to walk you through every single stitch.
