Discover over fifteen beautiful embroidery stitches with the Drawing Stitches Sampler, a perfect learning tool and a gorgeous finished piece all in one. We absolutely love it, and we’re not the only ones. Featured as a top embroidery kit by Wirecutter in both 2023 and 2024, it remains one of Dropcloth’s best sellers.

This stunning sampler is hand-drawn and printed onto cotton fabric, ready for you to dive in and start stitching with your own creative flair. Like a colouring book for embroidery, it offers endless possibilities for play and practice.

Inspired by the mark making in Rebecca’s own sketchbooks, the Drawing Stitches Sampler is packed with no less than 31 different stitches for you to discover, practise, and master. By the end, you’ll have created a beautiful work of art to hang on your wall, as well as a brilliant reference for future embroidery projects. It also makes an excellent workshop for your shop or craft group.

For best results, it’s recommended to back your sampler fabric with a second piece of non-stretchy fabric, such as cotton or linen, before placing it in the hoop. This will help achieve the flattest, most even stitches.

Each kit contains:

• Printed Drawing Stitches embroidery tutorial panel
• Threads for embroidery
• Needles
• Easy-to-follow instructions
• Plus, a free trial for all of Creativebug’s embroidery classes, including the class based on this very design
