A hand-painted color wheel designed to show off twelve different embroidery stitches. This pattern was made with water colors in my NYC studio and the printed fabric reflects that - the orange drip is on purpose and included on every sampler. Fun fact! I originally designed this sampler for a workshop that I taught at Purl Soho when I was living in NYC. Your finished sampler will serve as a stitch great reference for future projects.
Make it a Kit!
Are you a first time embroiderer? Need the basic supplies to get started? Make it a kit and we’ll include everything but the scissors to get you started. Kits include three colors of embroidery floss, an embroidery needle, an embroidery hoop, the sampler of your choice, and a bonus Colorburst embroidery sampler. SELECT Make it a Kit! in the dropdown menu above.
The sampler arrives preprinted on cotton quilting fabric, ready to stitch and includes basic instructions. You provide your own threads, needles, and hoop.
PLEASE NOTE: This item is not embroidered, but ready to be embroidered by YOU. The pictures show one way to fill in the design, but you can choose whatever colors/threads you like.
What size is it?
This Sampler measures approximately 7" x 9".
What thread should I use?
We use a combination of size 8 perle cotton and/or embroidery floss.
Where can I find more embroidery help?
I'm so glad you asked! Check out my online workshops on Creativebug.
Where can I see other examples of the finished sampler?
Instagram! Check out the hashtag #dropclothsamplers for tons of beautiful examples of all our designs, stitched by people like you. I hope you'll add yours to the mix!
How should I back my sampler?
For best results, I recommend backing this fabric with a second piece of fabric (cotton or linen) before placing your fabric in the hoop. You'll get the flattest, most even stitches this way. Check out my how-to for this step on Creativebug or IGTV (@dropcloth)
What size hoops should I use?
I like a size 6—but use whatever you hoop you have on hand.
Dropcloth Samplers proudly ships in up-cycled packaging. Your order may arrive in a reused Prime envelope—but we are NOT associated with Amazon.
