Overall, start with:

• Small designs that can be finished quickly (coasters, bookmarks, small wall art)
  
• Lower canvas counts (10–13 holes per inch) — easier on the eyes and faster to stitch
  
• Simple color palettes without lots of shading

Yes, absolutely! All kits come with a printed needlepoint booklet, which contains instructions on how to get started. We suggest to visit our How to Needlepoint page for videos tutorials and detailed instructions. Check also our Beginners collection, with the best projects for you to get started with Needlepoint!

No previous experience is necessary, as needlepoint kits typically include instructions and guidance for beginners! If you still have doubts, you should read about the benefits of needlepoint.

LEVEL 0 / STARTERS

If you are someone who is just starting to learn the basics of needlepoint, this level is for you. Kits at this stage are designed to help you feel confident from the start, with simple, small designs and no more than 3 colors. Perfect for learning the very basics, enjoying the process, and discovering the joy of stitching without feeling overwhelmed.

BEGINNER

If you have already had your very first go at needlepoint and are ready to learn the foundations, then Beginner is your level. Here you’ll start becoming familiar with essential stitches, materials, and tools, while exploring slightly bigger designs and more colors. These kits are still simple and approachable, but give you space to practice and build even more confidence.

CONFIDENT BEGINNER

If you have gained a little more experience and are comfortable with basic stitches and techniques, are beginning to experiment with different types of threads, colors, and textures, and your projects are becoming more complex, then Confident Beginner is your level.

INTERMEDIATE

If you have mastered basic stitches and are now moving into more advanced decorative stitches, are comfortable working with a variety of threads and mesh canvases, and can tackle moderately complex patterns, then Intermediate is your level.

ADVANCED

If you are highly skilled and experienced, have mastered a wide range of stitches, and are able to stitch intricate and detailed designs, then Advanced is your level.
