Cross Stitching Kit

Choosing the best cross stitching kit is a matter of making a good match between your current skills and the complexity of the pattern you want to embroider. You can choose kits designed for beginners, intermediate stitchers, and complicated projects intended for experts.

Most cross stitching kits come with a photo of the completed project. It will also include an easy to follow chart, fabric, floss, and a needle. Aside from the kit, you might also need an embroidery hoop. Craft club cross stitching kits have everything you need to get started and finish a project successfully. Their fresh and modern cross stitching kit designs can be quickly completed and hung on your wall.

How to choose the right cross stitching kit?

If you are just beginning with the craft of cross stitching, look for a kit for beginners. It will help you master the skills required to tackle more complex designs. Cross stitching kits for beginners include basic supplies and only a few colours. The coloured chart has symbols that can be easily read. Cross stitching kits from Craft Club feature fun and quirky designs that can be quickly completed in no time. Purchasing a kit from Craft Club means you don’t have to do the tedious process of purchasing materials separately.

If you are already an expert level cross stitching enthusiast, opt for counted cross stitching featuring a more complicated design or image. Since you already know how to make perfect stitches, you can stitch advanced patterns with confidence. But similar to novice stitchers, it is recommended you still purchase kits. They come with all the floss and fabric you need. Buying individual skeins can get costly, especially if you require a lot of colours. Most cross stitching kits sold in stores will have standard charts and suit the needs of pro-level stitchers. It is only a matter of selecting a design that you like.

What are your basic cross stitching supplies for beginners?

Fabric

If you are just starting in cross-stitching, the best fabric option is a light-coloured Aida cloth.

The Aida fabric that comes with your cross stitching kit is a gridded fabric cotton characterised by its count. The smaller the number, the larger the stitches. Therefore, there will be fewer stitches in the one-inch grid. A 6 count Aida is best for children to start learning cross-stitch. But for adults, there are 14 count Aida to get started on. Other commonly used cross stitching fabrics are evenweave and linen.

Thread

Embroidery thread is often referred to as floss, particularly in the US. It is made from 100% Egyptian cotton. It has a wide range of colours. One of the most popular suppliers of floss is DMC. Their skeins are super lustrous and silky, making them wonderful to work with. The threads are colourfast and will neither shrink nor run in the wash if you’re careful with them.

Scissors

The most crucial thing about embroidery scissors is they are extremely tiny and have a sharp point. It makes them ideal in undoing stitches and snipping threads. There are numerous kinds of vintage scissors and unique designs to choose from.

Embroidery hoop

The material for embroidery hoops can be plastic or wood. A wooden hoop of excellent quality is a great choice to get started. These are available from as small as 4-inch size right up to a massive 18 inches and even 19 inches.

Pattern

If you are just starting in cross-stitching, opt for simple instructions and designs. Whole stitches are easy. Back stitching, for some, is more pro-level. A good pattern will include a colourised chart for you to know which thread to stitch and where.
