Stitch therapy awaits! If you can: sew basic hand Stitch therapy awaits! If you can: sew basic hand stitches, print stuff, cut stuff, and glue stuff, then you are ready to get started. And because of the *magic* of Sulky Stick ’n Stitch, you simply embroider and cut on the printed lines. My Twelve Days series is a great primer. It starts out beginner-friendly and gets more complex as you sew your way through the series in order. By the time you finish pattern no. 12 you’ll be an ornament makin’ rockstar. mmmcrafts.com > Get Started for more info on your new hobby.
