Episode 4: Embroidery on a Budget: What You Really Need to Start
Summary
New to hand embroidery and not sure where to begin — or what tools you actually need to get started? In this episode, Kathleen breaks it all down and shares the exact supplies you need (and which ones you don’t!) to start stitching without the stress or overspending.
Plus, she opens up about her very first embroidery project — a sweet upcycling moment inspired by her kids — and reminds us all that creativity doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
You’ll hear about:
The 5 basic tools you need to start embroidery
Budget-friendly tips for beginners
What supplies are nice but not necessary
Kathleen’s first project (and what it taught her)
Why starting small is the best way to start
Takeaway: You don’t need fancy tools, perfect stitches, or a big budget to begin. You just need a needle, a little time, and a willingness to try.
