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: Will I be able to follow the instructions if I’ve never embroidered before?

A: Yes. The Spiral Sampler is designed for first-time stitchers, with a printed Beginner Guide and a stitch-along video tutorial. Jessica guides you through the sampler as you stitch, so you can pause, rewind and revisit any technique whenever you need to.

Q: Does this kit include everything I need to start learning embroidery?

A: Yes. This kit includes beginner-friendly guides, a wooden hoop, needles, DMC embroidery thread, and fabric with the pattern printed directly onto it, so there’s no tracing required. You’ll just need a pair of scissors to trim your threads.

Q: How long will it take to complete the Spiral Sampler embroidery project?

A: As a rough guide, allow around 4–6 hours for the Spiral Sampler kit. If this is your first embroidery project, you may need a little time to get used to separating the thread and learning new techniques. Jessica's stitch-along tutorial lets you pause and rewatch each section whenever you need to, and you'll usually find your stitching becomes quicker as you get more comfortable. You can finish the project over a few evenings, a weekend, or spread it out over a longer period. There's no need to rush.

After a career in a biotech lab, Jessica turned to hand embroidery following the birth of her son, looking for a way to slow down, connect with her hands and reduce anxiety. Having felt intimidated when she first picked up a needle, she now designs colourful, approachable kits with step-by-step guidance to help others discover the slow, satisfying pleasure of making.

Inspired by her lifelong love of natural science illustration, her patterns bring animals and florals to life. Each is designed to be enjoyed one relaxing stitch at a time.
