All about the tools and supplies needed for hand embroidery

Understanding the tools and supplies used in hand embroidery will help you decide how to perfect your project. This section will give you information on these various tools you can associate with hand embroidery. I have tried to keep it simple without sophistication and too many details. Know the different kinds of needles, threads, fabrics, transferring tools, and more.

Each page will be updated with more details and information in the future!

    Hi, i recently found your wonderful site and have started embroidery again after 45 years! Its been great practising some of your stitches as you explain the, so well, thanks.
    Just one thing. What do you use to draw a design on the cloth? I bought a pen that vanishes after a while which is brilliant for machine sewing but no good for embroidery. I would like to draw some simple designs myself, rather than copying, so what would I use?
    Thanks
