I love this pattern and had fun doing it. That said, I had issues with the floss included. First, there was not enough floss for some colors (especially for all the satin stitches and woven wheels). Thankfully, I had leftover floss from other projects I could use. Second, the floss was low quality and difficult to work with. Certain colors literally fell apart while I was stitching. For the price of the kit, I expected higher quality supplies.
The instructions recommend 3 strands for all stitches. I'd suggest 2 so you don't run out of floss.
Having seen some ads for various embroidery kits, I decided I’d try it out as something to do instead of doomscrolling. Think I landed here based on a subreddit, and I’m glad I did! I really enjoyed the kit. The combo of pattern and video was for the most part easy to follow, and the bits where I got a tiny bit confused weren’t hard to figure out. I like that there are a variety of stitches in the pattern, so I learned a lot. It gave me the confidence to buy some supplies myself and create my own little floral design. I’ll definitely be buying more kits in the future!
All the tools I needed to start my embroidery journey! The order included a beginner's guide to the stitches I needed (and more!), and there was a video tutorial to help me when I got stuck.
I ordered the starter kit for a friend for her birthday and it was a big hit! I had reached out after the order to note that it was a gift and ask if they could not include a receipt with the price on it. Not only did Jessica get back to me right away, but she offered to include a little note for my friend, which was such a nice touch. I'll definitely order from Jessica Long Embroidery again!
Jessica's instructions made it really easy to understand how I should tackle this design as a beginner, and I loved that this particular kit gave me room to play and add french knots as I wanted to for a slight variation on the design that didn't feel overwhelming. There was also more than enough embroidery thread so I didn't feel stressed about being perfect or worried about running out of threads.
