About this piece
Learn embroidery by making something you'll be proud to keep
Some beginner embroidery kits teach stitches on practice fabric before you start a real project. Jessica Long takes a different approach. As you stitch this colourful spiral sampler, you'll gradually learn new techniques while watching a clear, encouraging video tutorial. By the time you finish, you'll have both a completed piece and the confidence to begin your next embroidery project.
The tutorial is designed to be followed at your own pace, making it easy to pick up your hoop whenever you have a little time to yourself.
Why you'll enjoy this kit
- Learn as you create, rather than practising stitches separately.
- Clear video guidance demonstrates each technique step by step in a calm, easy-to-follow way.
- Suitable for complete beginners, with a printed beginner guide to support future projects.
- A compact, low-mess craft that stores neatly between stitching sessions.
What you'll learn
The tutorial introduces 14 essential embroidery stitches, helping you build practical skills while completing the sampler. Along the way, Jessica explains not only how to make each stitch, but where and when to use it in future embroidery projects.
Tiny Patio note
Tiny Patio currently stocks the navy fabric version of this kit. The darker background creates a lovely contrast with the 12 colours of DMC embroidery thread, allowing each stitch to stand out clearly as the design grows.
What's included

- 12 colours of DMC six-stranded cotton embroidery thread, organised on a thread card
- Printed colour embroidery instructions
- Jessica Long's Beginner Guide

You'll just need a pair of scissors to get started.
About the artist

Jessica Long Embroidery, Arizona, USA
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.
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. The Spiral Sampler beginner kit includes a wooden embroidery hoop, needles, DMC thread, and fabric with the pattern printed directly onto it, so there's no tracing or pattern transfer. You'll just need a pair of scissors to snip 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.
