Bradove Classic Embroidery Learning Kit | Hand Embroidery Kit for Beginners with Threads Needles Scissor Fabrics Instruction Book Hoop, Beginner Embroidery Kit, Stitch

I am fairly experienced with needlework but haven’t done any embroidery for a few years so I picked this kit up as a refresher course. I am very impressed. The materials included are not top quality but they do the job in the main. The only thing I changed was the hoop as I prefer plastic. Even the scissors do an ok job. The best part absolutely has to be the quality of the instructions. The booklet has step by step instructions for all the stitches and plenty of pictures. There is also a QR code for each stitch that links to a YouTube video if you need an example. The videos show you everything there is to know about the stitches. Topics covered start right at the basics of how to use a hoop and thread a needle. Just about everyone could use this kit. Even children from around age 7 with a bit of adult help. It has been easy and fun to complete. I plan to stitch the individual fabric squares together to make a book along with some more advanced stitches. This kit comes highly recommended.

The Bradove beginners kit is absolutely fantastic. I am definitely a beginner and knew nothing aside from threading the needle. The booklet and tutorial videos (available via qr codes) provide you with basic and easy to understand instructions while the kit provides you with everything you’ll need to get started. I was a little apprehensive as I’m hopeless at sewing but this has been brilliant and really boosted my confidence and after competing the first pattern of stitches, am looking forward to learning the others. If I can learn via this kit, anyone can! The price is fantastic too! I’d recommend it whole heartedly.

Really good, very good quality with clear instructions

The lovely colours always look great 👍🏼

Perfect starter kit for youngsters or those ancient folk like me wanting some small project for holiday downtime. Has everything you need. Clear paper instructions with QR codes for more info on each stitch and guide for the central image work. Has everything you need, hoop, needles and threader, scissors, stitch unpicker and of course full skeins of each colour threads. Perfect.

Unopened as a Christmas present however appears from the box to be exactly as I required. Arrived speedily too and well packaged in an attractive box

It is a really good product. It contains everything you need to complete the embroidery & the instructions with the accompanying u tube videos, are really easy to follow. I loved this product & will definitely order from them again. It would be a great present for someone starting embroidery.

This is an excellent kit for beginners. The QR codes in the instructions with links to video clips of the techniques for the various stitches are particularly helpful.

I have received the wrong embroidery fabrics. Instead of embroidery fabrics 1, 2, 3 and 4, I have received no “embroidery stitches-1”, and instead received two of the “embroidery stitches-4”. There is no contact information so not sure what to do. Purchased this product on the 26th of Jan 2025.

divertido y práctico para principiantes

I am a complete beginner when it comes to sewing and embroidery. I love to craft and primarily am a beader/bead weaver. I have started experimenting with bead embroidery where I learned the only sewing/embroidery skill I knew prior to this kit - a beaded backstitch.. I was looking for a kit that would give me basic skills with a bunch of different stitches that I could then use in other crafts and not necessarily to do embroidery alone, so I chose this kit. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be. A way to learn and practice stitches that I can use however I want. The kit does seem to come with everything you need. I love that. I haven't had to supply anything at all. I could open the box and go. They seem to be good quality as well. My one slight gripe is with the instructions. I don't always find them as clear as I would like. For example, it obviously wants you to choose a needle but it doesn't give you a ton of information about the sizes of needles included and which one to start with. I ended up taking a picture of the needle pack and asking AI. For the fellow complete beginners, the needles are sizes 1-5. The longer and thicker the needle the larger size it is, so 5 is the longest (they're in the middle). I found that using a 3 or 4 was about right. I also had a similar issue with the floss. You're taught to separate the floss, but not how many strands to use. If you eventually flip through the back of the instruction book, it says to see everything with 3 strands. I wish the instructions had been clearer and the videos had audio. For the first few easier stitches, not having audio is fine. But for the more complicated ones, I could see myself wanting the explicit instruction. However, it does label each stitch so I know what to look for. Other than the challenges with the instructions, I really love this kit. It was fun to practice my running stitch both on the hoop and off and learn new skills. I can't wait to learn more stitches and then put them to use! A great product for a complete beginner. Fabulous if you are wanting to just learn stitches - probably not great if you want to do some kind of project to apply them. But it's exactly what I wanted. Completely recommend this kit as long as you know the instructions might be a little vague at times.

I bought this kit as I wanted to see whether embroidery was for me as well as get some practice with a few of the basic stitches. As the kit says, it includes everything you need to get started - an embroidery hoop, scissors, a needle threader, a seam ripper, four needles, four cloths with printing, and a LOT of embroidery floss (I ended up with a fair amount extra of each color.) None of the stuff is super high quality...which is expected for a $20 kit. (I suspect that I'm going to replace the scissors and hoop at some point since, y'know, why not?) But it does have EVERYTHING. The instructions were clear and also included links to videos that I could watch if I was having trouble with a stitch (@#$# french knots, @#$#). So that was helpful and useful. I also liked that there was a fair range of stitches (I think they said 29, but three were repeats) included, so I felt like I learned a lot. The instructions also clarified when someone might use one type vs. another. I also liked that, once I'd finished them, I had them "saved" on cloth to reference. My embroidery, of course, didn't turn out as good as featured in the pictures...which wasn't unexpected. (I mean, I'm a total amateur.) But I think I did okay. Regardless, if embroidery is something you're interested in trying, I feel like this kit is a good value for money, easy to follow, and pretty helpful. So definitely recommended.

Instructions are not good - scissors are useless as is the needle threader. Throw them away
