Adding a monogram to something makes it look and feel special. With this new all-in-one craft kit from becker&mayer! doing it is as simple as picking up a needle and thread. Embroidery Designs Modern Monogram: Everything You Need to Stitch 12 Elegant Lettering Patterns by Kelly Fletcher. Kelly is an expert needlework designer and author. Her kit has a variety of monogram and motif options for you to customize clothing and decor with hand embroidery. It comes complete with a booklet, 3 iron-on transfer sheets, 2 pieces of white fabric, 10 skeins of colorful embroidery thread, 2 needles and a 6-inch embroidery hoop. The 64-page booklet has step-by-step instructions with full-color photographs for 12 embroidery stitches and 12 patterns. The monogram patterns shown on the box are among the ones inside. Ten thread colors include - gray, blue, green, light green, yellow, orange, light pink, pink, purple and white. I'm a beginner and wanted to see if I could follow the instructions and complete the embroidery stitches. I opened up the book, threaded a needle and began. I was very pleased to master the first 3 embroidery stitches I tried - the Cross-Stitch, Detached Chain Stitch and Fly Stitch. This kit is beautifully packaged. It would make a lovely gift.
