We have plenty of recommendations for beginner cross stitch kits. Any ongoing stitch-a-long is also perfect for beginners and a great opportunity to learn from the community. We always recommend selecting 14 count aida fabric if you are new to the craft.

Our kits come with everything you need to create the finished project. They include:

• Full, easy-to-follow instructions
• Colour professionally printed pattern
• Pre-sorted card thread holder(s)
• Finest DMC stranded cotton in the shades and lengths to fit your project
• A piece of fabric large enough to complete and display your creation on
• 1 needle

For some products we offer different levels of kits, which come with optional extras. 

Ultimate Kit: Cross stitch kit + needle minder + additional item

Premium Kit: Cross stitch kit + needle minder

Standard Kit: Cross stitch kit only

Yes. If you join part way through, you will receive that month's updated pattern which includes all previous parts too.

Most of our cross stitch kits are also available as digital patterns. If you can't find what you're after, please do get in touch!

In the very early days, we did offer printed patterns for stitch-a-longs but unfortunately, the logistics of printing various pattern pages and shipping these to various locations to be received on the same day was very challenging.

Members enjoy the flexibility of PDF patterns so they can choose to use them on a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile device and zoom in. They can choose to print the patterns if they wish, somewhere local and cost effective for them e.g. at home, at work, at a library, office centre or supermarket or using an online printing service. This means we can have the same PDF pattern file sent to thousands of stitch-a-long members at the exact same moment!

All of our PDF patterns only for stitch-a-longs are a similar price. The stitch-a-long patterns comprise of 30+ PDFs over the duration of the project (anywhere between 4 and 8 months) which are sent manually (black and white, colour, 1 page, split over 2 pages etc).

Also included is 4-8 months worth of hosting the event, the time spent by Sally and the wider team managing and helping with the project, 24/7 support, tips, advice and content to accompany the stitch-a-long community project.

After stitch-a-longs end, the PDF only price drops in line with other standard instant download patterns. Our standard PDFs (non stitch-a-longs) are cheaper. This is because they are instant downloads which are fulfilled automatically. Hello Pumpkin was a similar price to Hello Sunshine when it was a stitch-a-long. Hello Petal was never a stitch-a-long.

We always include generous amounts of thread in our kits to allow for minor mistakes, and most customers find they have some to spare. If you run out of thread due to significant errors or large sections being unpicked, we’re unable to offer free replacements, but you may have the option to purchase extra thread or a full replacement thread card. However, if it appears that your kit was supplied with insufficient thread due to an error on our part, we will absolutely send the missing thread free of charge. These cases are assessed individually to ensure a fair outcome.

We only work with select magazines and companies on collaborations. However, you can now use www.loveitstitchit.comto create and sell your own cross stitch patterns!
