The most important thing to start embroidering is the desire to make patterns yourself. If there is a desire, then you can visit master classes or read literature, look on the Internet to learn the basics and algorithm of actions. It is best to find a craftswoman who can give a lesson and explain all the subtleties.
If there is no time for all this, you can try to master embroidery as a hobby yourself. But then no one guarantees the result, plus – you can beat off all the desire to engage in creative work. The main thing is to remember that everyone can embroider, regardless of profession, age and gender, but it will take time.
The choice of fabric, thread, needles depends on the embroidery technique. The easiest technique is cross stitch. For her, you will need floss threads, canvas (which will make counting easier).
For beginners, it is better to take the option where the pattern is applied to the canvas, then it is easier to deal with the embroidery technique. The next step can be ready-made kits, which include everything you need (needle, pattern, canvas, the right number of threads). All this can be bought on the Internet, print media or in special stores.
For comfortable embroidery, you will still need scissors, a marker for marking squares on the canvas, embroidery kits, a hoop to stretch the canvas well.
It is difficult to master the rest of the techniques on your own, you need to visually learn from craftswomen or, for example, online lessons.
