Learn the stitches. Make a little forest along the way.
The Forest Floor Embroidery Stitch Sampler turns embroidery practice into something worth displaying.
Rather than learning stitches on a plain scrap of fabric, you'll work your way through a screen-printed woodland design, practicing seven embroidery techniques as ferns, textures, patterns, and tiny forest details begin to appear beneath your needle.
The cotton fabric comes pre-printed with the pattern and stitch guide, so there's no tracing or transferring required. Each technique appears multiple times throughout the sampler, giving you a chance to practice the movement before incorporating it into the finished design.
Follow the downloadable illustrated guide, learn the stitches one by one, and finish with a small piece of embroidered forest—and seven new techniques you can take somewhere else.

Why We Love It
Practice doesn't have to look like practice.
That's what we especially like about a stitch sampler.
You're learning the mechanics—where the needle goes, how tightly to pull the thread, what happens when the spacing changes—but while you're figuring all of that out, you're also making a forest.
Repeat a stitch. Get a little more comfortable. Try another. Discover that the third fern looks different from the first one.
Good.
That's what learning looks like.
And when you're finished, the sampler doesn't have to disappear into a drawer. Put it in a pretty frame hoop and let your practice become part of the room.
