Types of hand embroidery kits available
Trying to choose between cross stitch and embroidery? Here is a handy guide. Cross stitch is so called because the stitches you make in the pattern form like little crosses. As such, you build an image which is very similar to creating art with pixels - lots of tiny squares coming together to make an image. Cross stitch gives a very uniform and flat texture, perfect for framing your masterpiece when you’re done.
If you’re looking for a stitching kit that gives a lot of freedom, an embroidery kit is a great option. You still follow a pattern but the stitches used are much more fluid. You can create all kinds of unique textures using different techniques to create a piece that you just can’t help but touch (gently). Ribbon embroidery is exactly what it sounds like - embroidery using ribbons. The ribbons used in this technique offer some really unique texture and 3D elements to your piece. They can be used to create realistic-looking flower petals among other accents. These pieces are best displayed in a shadow box frame or without a frame at all so you can admire every facet.
Punch needle is a fairly new, relatively easy craft to get into. This technique creates an image with a texture that resembles a rug - lots of loops of soft yarn you just can’t help running your fingers across. It’s perfect for images of leaves and flowers and abstract patterns and has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. It’s also fairly simple and doesn’t require too much experience to complete a beautiful piece. Many crafters who enjoy punch needle embroidery display their pieces on an embroidery hoop so they can admire the texture of their work fully.
