Dropcloth Sampler Embroidery Kit

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 (see the drop down menu for size).

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.
