Pincushions Project Dropcloth Sampler embroidery sampler preprinted

This is the Pincushions Project Dropcloth Sampler.

This is a pre-printed sampler, ready for you to work your embroidery magic upon it! Please note that this is the sampler only, no needles, thread, or hoop are included.

An embroidery sampler, that when completed, you can sew into two pincushions* to keep your needles organized. For years, I have been suggesting that embroiderers pre-thread their needles. With a pincushion full of needles that are ready to go, you can start stitching at the drop of a hat. Now I've designed a pincushion to show off all your needles and help keep you inspired. This sampler includes two panels for you to embroider by hand. I used back stitch and french knots, but you can choose your own stitches to suit your own taste. For best results, we recommend using 3 strands of embroidery floss or size 8 perle cotton in your needles. Choose your favorite colors. This sampler makes a great gift to share with a friend. Will you stitch them together? Stitch one up and fill it with threaded needles for a friend that could really use a pick me up? Stitch them both up and keep them at the ready on your own end table? I can't wait to see what you'll make. This Sampler measures approximately 8" x 10".

*Instructions included in packaging.

For the best embroidering experience, we suggest adding the following:
* a 6" or 8" embroidery hoop
* embroidery needles (we sell Clover Gold Eye ones here!)
* some embroidery floss or perle cotton (we sell Wonderfil Eleganza perle cotton here)
* a piece of woven fabric a bit larger than the sampler to use as backing (deep dive in your stash!)
