Pincushions Sampler

An embroidery sampler, that when completed, you can sew into two pincushions to keep your needles organized.

This sampler includes two panels for you to embroider by hand. Rebecca used back stitch and french knots, but you can choose your own stitches to suit your own taste. For best results, we recommend using 3 strands of embroidery floss or size 8 perle cotton in your needles. Choose your favorite colors.

This sampler makes a great gift to share with a friend. Will you stitch them together? Stitch one up and fill it with threaded needles for a friend that could really use a pick me up? Stitch them both up and keep them at the ready on your own end table? I can't wait to see what you'll make.

Please share your in-progress and finished pincushions on Instagram with hashtag #dropclothsamplers


Complete directions for sewing your embroidered panels into functional pincushions are included.

+ Where can I see other examples of the finished sampler?

the mix!

+ How should I back my sampler?
For best results, I recommend backing this fabric with a second piece of fabric (cotton or linen) before placing your fabric in the hoop. You'll get the flattest,
most even stitches this way. Check out my how to for this step on creativebug or IGTV (@dropcloth)

+ What size hoops should I use? I like a size 6- but use whatever you hoop you have on hand.
