This is quite complete, it has everything you need to get started with embroidery. I am starting a new hobby called "Slow Stitching," and this is a great start to that. I have never tried embroidery before, but with this kit, I feel like I have a great start to this craft!
The hoop is small, but that's perfect for me, most of the time slow stitching is done on a smaller scale, so this will be a handy addition to my new hobby. If I find that I need a bigger hoop, I can always buy one.
I love that this kit comes with everything you'll need, from the pre-printed canvas (three of them!) to the hoop, thread, needles, scissors, and even a threader, greatly appreciated for my aging eyes!
