Nuberlic2 Pack Embroidery Kits for Beginners, Cross Stitch Starter Kit Adults Include 2 Cloth with Pattern, 2 Hoops, Color Thread and Needles

If this is your first kit, I RECOMMEND YOUTUBE VIDEOS to watch how to do this. The kit is fine but it assumes you know at least a little something (which I didn't!). I've only ever sewn a little bit, this was my first time with embroidery and the term "floss". Learn from my mistakes!Firstly: THE THREAD (floss) MUST BE SEPARATED INTO THINNER PIECES TO GET THE FULL EFFECT. What do I mean by separated? I will explain, and I hope my attached photo can help guide you through it (otherwise you can look up youtube videos demonstrating this).To begin separating the thread/floss, you first cut the length you want, then you separate it into individual strands (in this kit, each thread appears to separate into at least "6" threads). This makes more sense when you take out the instructions and see something like "Stem Stich (3 strands)". This means for that specific technique, they recommend you use 3 strands from the thread. (Confused about how to make an uneven number of strands? Keep reading!)Secondly: There are some designs which require an uneven 3 strands of floss (like I said before, one thread can usually be separated into at least 6 separate string strands of floss). I didn't understand how to make the floss strands into 3 strands, because I only knew when you thread the needle and tie it, it doubles the strand (for example, 1 strand on the needle becomes 2; 2 strands becomes 4; 3 strands becomes 6).So for the designs that say 3, there are other ways to do this but for me personally, I went ahead and just tied and threaded 1 strands to become 2 (instead of the recommended uneven three). It still comes out looking great & I have more thread on hand. And then the 6 strand designs are easy because it is simply 3 strands, tied and threaded (which make six).There’s many ways to do embroidery; remember the most important way is the way you have fun in!I hope this makes sense, if it doesn't I recommend youtube because that's where I learned the nuances and different possibilities of this hobby.TLDR: If you're lost don't give up hope! Your questions can be answered with some internet searches, and techniques can be demonstrated in videos. Best of luck!

Everything came in great condition except 1 pack of the transparent kits. The blue flower came in damaged so I can't use it but Everything else is perfect

The who cares one has extra lines that don’t belong there, the example photo was done very hastily and doesn’t give an accurate representation of what it should look like, and it gives almost no instructions. Start with the pink one and use YouTube videos to learn the stitches.

I really enjoyed this kit! It comes with absolutely everything you need, and the design washes out wicked easily. The directions were nonsense, but Youtube has plenty of tutorials for all types of embroidery. I switched up the long-short stitch that most of the flower petals had and did them all in just one color. I switched up the colors and the phrase in the middle, as well. All in all, great kit!

This kit was supposed to come with 3 needles, and I didn't even get one. Even in the other kit I ordered, I didn't get one. The listing said it was supposed to come with some, and as this will be my first time, I don't have any on hand. So, now I gotta wait and see if the other kits I ordered come with some, and if not, I gotta buy some......

The media could not be loaded. This was my first time embroidering. It was pretty easy.

I do these during work. Just wish there were more funny inappropriate patterns to choose from.
