FAQ

A few things people often ask before they start. If your question isn't answered here, we're always happy to help — just get in touch.

Q: I’m new to embroidery. Is this Mini Cat embroidery kit suitable for me?

A: Mini Cat embroidery kit is labelled Confident Beginner, or Beginner Plus as Jessica Long describes this level. It’s designed for stitchers who know the basics and are ready for a project with more details and a little more patience. It works particularly well as a second embroidery project. If this is your first time embroidering, we recommend starting with the Spiral Sampler first, then moving on to Mini Cat embroidery kit.

Q: Can I follow the Catwalk video tutorial to stitch the Mini Cat embroidery kit?

A: Yes. Mini Cat embroidery kit is a smaller section of Jessica Long’s original Catwalk design, which features three cats. The video shows the full three-cat picture, but the section you’re stitching in the Mini Catwalk is taken directly from that design, and the video demonstrates the same stitches and techniques you’ll use.

About this piece

If you're looking for a modern embroidery kit designed for adults that you can finish over a few relaxed stitching sessions, this project is a lovely place to begin. The Mini Catwalk features a charming black cat, glowing full moon and autumn branches, all stitched inside a compact 10 cm hoop. The smaller scale makes steady progress feel rewarding without becoming overwhelming.

What's included

  • Embroidery pattern printed directly onto blue fabric, so there's no tracing or transfer needed
  • 10 cm (4 inch) wooden embroidery hoop
  • Hand embroidery needles
  • 10 colours of DMC six-stranded cotton embroidery thread on a thread card
  • Jessica Long Beginner Guide
  • Link to the full-size Catwalk video tutorial

You'll just need a pair of scissors before you begin.

Tiny Patio note

The Mini Catwalk kit includes access to Jessica Long's original Catwalk video tutorial, which demonstrates the full-size design featuring three cats. Although the layout shown in the video differs slightly from the mini version, it uses the same stitches and techniques, so the tutorial remains fully relevant while you stitch.

If you're completely new to embroidery, please note that this tutorial focuses on constructing the design rather than introductory skills such as threading a needle or separating embroidery thread. Those fundamentals are covered in the included Beginner Guide.
