4 Advanced Embroidery Kits That Will Challenge You -

If you’ve been stitching for awhile and you’re looking for advanced embroidery kits that will challenge you a bit more, look no further! For this roundup, I did some research and I tried to find kits that included more complexity in the design or they used different techniques that are a bit more challenging and less common than your typical surface embroidery kit. (Things like stumpwork, gold work, thread painting, and more!) If you’ve never tried these techniques before, now is the perfect time!

Most of the artists below have other more advanced kits in their shop, so if the technique and style seems interesting but the design doesn’t seem like the right fit, I encourage you to browse other items in their shop.
