I'm particularly proud of this because I'm notorious for starting craft projects and NEVER FINISHING THEM. 😂 This was just a cheap kit from AC Moore, but it was a lot of fun!

EDIT: this is the kit for anyone who wants it https://www.amazon.com/Mini-Maker-Neon-Mandala-Kit/dp/B07QHYW5XZ

I bought a mini embroidery hoop on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FV600ZM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used the shape to get an idea of the size, and then drew the fist on a piece of linen - put that in a larger embroidery hoop that was easier to work with, and then just used different color threads for the outline and inside. Then I took it out of the big hoop, cut it to fit the small one and glued it all together.

For something so small it was more time-consuming than I thought, but also probably because I'm a beginner. I think it took about 6 hours, but it was nice because its relaxing and I can listen to podcasts while working on it :D

I bought this set from Amazon. It was a bit difficult getting the alignment right with the oval when putting it together (I didn't stitch it in this hoop) but it does hold the fabric nice and taut!

u/plasticblanket · 12 pointsr/CrossStitch

I just bought some on Amazon since I was in a time pinch, but am really happy with them! They're faux rubber wood. I bought these ones.

u/ashleyheather00 · 9 pointsr/CrossStitch

Of course! I purchased them from Amazon (https://amzn.to/2DrYf9g). They’re actually a flexible rubber but have surprisingly good quality and a nice finished look to them.

Here you go 😊

Caydo 4 Pieces Embroidery Hoops Cross Stitch Hoop Imitated Wood Embroidery Circle and Oval Set for Art Craft Sewing and Hanging https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G9187BJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cP1jDbN2RH6SN

u/nosecohn · 8 pointsr/audioengineering

Nice video.

Just to add, I once did some tests with another engineer to determine how tightly you should stretch the material. Turns out looser is better: more pop protection with no resultant loss in sound quality. Stretch it just enough to keep its form over the frame and it will probably outperform the commercially produced ones.

Also, for a cleaner look, some people use an embroidery hoop instead of the wire hanger.

u/waffle_stain · 5 pointsr/CrossStitch

I just got into cross-stich and I got this kit. For the price and what you get, you won't beat it at any craft store anyway. I also got the Subversive Cross Stitch book linked below. It is super fun! Etsy has great patterns and Amazon even has some too. Just depends on what you are interested in making.

Here are some on Amazon. You should see them from other sellers, as well, in the related products section.

I posted this in another sub about a month ago for someone wanting to learn:







It's a very inexpensive hobby. Here are the things I put on my Amazon list, just for reference if you or anyone else needed it:

Set of 4 different sized wooden hoops- $11.99 Plastic ones may be easier for some people, I prefer wooden because they're more my style for framing.

Aida 14ct Cloth 12x18- $3.55 14ct Aida is easiest to work with for beginners. The size of this is good for practicing on, get a couple so you can use the other for your first project. You can also purchase large rolls of it when you start becoming obsessed with it. They also come in lots of different colors and easy to dye yourself.

Set of 150 different colored skeins of DMC floss- $15.98 This is a great amount to start off with. It'll last you a long time, and if you ever need more or want new colors, they are very inexpensive from any craft store and Walmart. Usually around $0.25-$0.50. FYI floss splits apart into 6 tiny strings. Start off using only 2-3 strands
Do all 6 and you're gonna have a bad time.

Needles!- $3.49 Can't stitch without needles!

Bobbins and a thread organizer- $6.49 You will need this. I waited too long to get one and ended up have to wind up hundreds of tangled skeins and it took HOURS. Do it before you start practicing. Also write the thread color number on the top of each bobbin with permanent marker. When you use patterns they will be based off the color numbers.

Julie Jackson's subversive cross stitch book- $12.99 If you like those snarky offensive cross stitchings, this is the best book for it. It's also an amazing beginners guide into cross stitching. It has brief instructions on how to start and very simple but adorably offensive patterns. You can also get other books or use YouTube to find instructions on how to get started. I'd also like to suggest going to etsy for patterns. They're pretty cheap and there's endless options.

So about $55 to get started plus shipping, but it'll last you a long time and could be used on many different projects and you won't spend nearly as much when you do need something else.

I’ve seen them on amazon. Embroidery Hoops Cross Stitch Hoop Ring Imitated Wood Circle Set Display Frame For Art Craft Handy Sewing and Hanging-3 Pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075S259PY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_c68SDb46D48MN

u/BelleStarrRoberts · 3 pointsr/Embroidery

Yes, it was this pattern from Amazon: Full Range of Embroidery Starter... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WHMZ8RD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

u/PepperVL · 3 pointsr/CrossStitch

I believe the darker wood ones are actually imitation wood. Like this:

u/Cupcakeslie · 3 pointsr/Embroidery

I got them on amazon! They are deceptive though, the outside is rubber. So you cannot do a project in it, but you can put a finished one in it. Hoops!

u/7856342 · 3 pointsr/Embroidery

I usually buy the plain wooden ones. I find them easy to work with and you can paint them whatever color you want! These kinds of hoops have a pretty, antique wood look but they're not real wood, and I haven't worked with them so I can't say if they're comfortable to stitch in.

u/lkrose · 3 pointsr/Embroidery
u/milky923 · 3 pointsr/Embroidery
u/laurenrawrface · 3 pointsr/CrossStitch

So there's a few options for ornaments.
There's a more versatile [plastic hoops](
http://amzn.to/2fLvoyB) that you can glue things to, like the ribbon or rope in the photos. Or you can do a more simple wooden hoop with ribbon.
Either way, just searching for a 3 inch cross stitch hoop works pretty well. There are also plastic hoops like this you can find.

u/pet2catsinthemorning · 2 pointsr/CrossStitch
u/gengardelrey · 2 pointsr/CrossStitch

Thank you so much! It's 100% 11 count each stitch is 2 threads. This is the kit I used

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07B8M2DVV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But i think it'll be sticking to 14ct in the future! thank you for your kind words though! It's really appreciated haha.

u/tolerantamonia · 2 pointsr/Embroidery

Here's the Amazon link. The instructions are pretty bad but it gives you everything you need!

u/thrilled32 · 2 pointsr/Embroidery

They can be purchased on Amazon

They have a variety of shapes and sizes if you browse a little

u/ali_rose · 2 pointsr/Embroidery

Thank you! I had no idea what to do with an oval hoop at first, then I began the first pine tree and thought 'What the hell did I just decide to do..." I'm just glad it's turning out well. I'm incedibly happy with how the trees turned out and I'm really wanting to do a set of hoops with just unique trees.
On the hoop, it was super affordable. It actually came in a group of 4 hoops of different sizes. It isn't actual wood but is a plastic rubber that fits really snugly over a plastic hoop. I've only just started doing embroidery, so I didn't want to buy anything terribly expensive yet. This is just from Amazon, link here -

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CV88X4G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AqTtDbY6D1RWY

I know there are frames on Etsy you can buy to place a finished hoop in that look great too.

Also, auburnhoops.co have some really beautiful hoops. I haven't tried them yet since the hoops are pretty pricy, but I'm definitely considering it.

u/FranceGall · 2 pointsr/Embroidery
u/justastarkgenius · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This would make my day. I woke up sick, my boyfriend's in a bad mood, and I want to take up cross stitching. So I went to the craft store, picked up fabric and thread and needles... And a hoop.

Only to discover that my hoop is too small. :(

The dog ate my homework! That jerk!

u/pegasus_x · 2 pointsr/CrossStitch

Thanks!! I got the hoop from DMC online but they don't appear to sell them anymore. These appear to be identical though:

u/Kmes04 · 2 pointsr/Embroidery

This is a kit I got off of amazon, so the included instructions told me how many stands of the included thread to use for each part! this is what I got!

u/whorcruz · 2 pointsr/Embroidery

ARTISTORE 5 Pieces Embroidery Hoops... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075DZX8H3?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I've used these since day one. I tried 2 others and they just don't compare :)

u/sockmonkeyboxinglove · 1 pointr/CrossStitch

Do you mean actual hoops to hold the finished piece, or the jump ring that hangs it on the necklace? Amazon carries 1.5" rounds, and I also saw some 3 inch rounds as well. That said, you might want to consider just mounting the finished piece on a bezel with a glass cabochon on top.

u/Bluepie19 · 1 pointr/GirlGamers

If you tell me which pattern you are getting I can give you specifics. But in general all you need is: the cloth to stitch on (common brands are aida and evenweave, and as a beginner you will want to use aida), color thread (called floss, there are several brands like DMC and Anchor), a tapestry needle (it's more blunt than a regular needle), and something to hold your project while you work (typically people use a hoop but I like the q-snap better since it's a square instead of a circle).

I’m 98% sure these were the ones I got

u/UDontWinFrendsWSalad · 1 pointr/Embroidery

Here is the Etsy link. This is my second kit from her, such lovely designs and the kits are beautiful as well, if you need any gift ideas!

Edit: Wanted to add that the hoop is from a set I got on Amazon .

u/jp-golf · 1 pointr/Embroidery

That's not a bad idea. I think I'll end up trying to turn a piece of it into a patch and maybe attach it to a small pillow as you suggested.

Does a kit like this have everything I'd need to get started?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071HBH836

On some of the reviews it seemed like the cotton fabric that is included is not great for patches. Do you know what cotton fabric would be best to get for a patch?

u/lamborb · 1 pointr/StardewValley

there’s also pretty cheap and good quality starter kits on amazon! i got this one and it was great! plus prime shipping if you have prime!

u/dredre543 · 1 pointr/CrossStitch

I just finished this kit last week! Luckily the ink comes out fairly easy on the pattern, the color graphs and red "Gangsta" on the top left are a bit harder, but I scrubbed it with mild laundry soap and a small brush and it came out. Just mind the edges because the edge stitching started to come undone on one corner after scrubbing. Unfortunately, the frame it came with is far too small.
I ordered these on Amazon and one of the circles, just barely fits the pattern and is a nicer finish.

u/sadsunfish · 1 pointr/Embroidery

I’m not sure if this is allowed by the rules here but here is the first link I found of them - hoops

u/emanbu · 1 pointr/CrossStitch

It came with this set: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B8M2DVV/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_dp_1.
But I have seen many like it on wish cheaper.

u/Jeanie__miso · 1 pointr/CrossStitch

They have different sizes, but I got larger one - Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07QLPSWNG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
