I wanted to create a free embroidery sampler pattern to share with you so that you can practice embroidery stitches in a fun way. There are 10 embroidery stitches in this stitching sampler that are all beginner-friendly, and I think they are ones that are good to learn when you’re first starting out. The video further down in this post walks you through how to complete the pattern.
This pattern is just one of many hand embroidery patterns available for free the site.
