Card Deck Hand Embroidery Sampler
Discover and practise 50 beautiful embroidery stitches with this unique Card Deck Hand Embroidery Sampler , inspired by the renowned Royal School of Needlework (RSN) Card Deck of Embroidery Stitches .
Designed as the perfect companion to the RSN stitch card deck, this sampler allows you to explore all 50 stitches featured in the cards while creating a beautiful embroidered reference piece of your own.
The sampler includes a stitch placement guide showing exactly where each stitch belongs on the design. Simply refer to your RSN card deck (available separately) to find the corresponding stitch card and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Don't own the card deck? No problem. You can also complete the sampler using your existing embroidery knowledge or by accessing the RSN Stitch Bank online. However, if you're new to embroidery and would like clear guidance for all 50 stitches, the card deck is highly recommended, as this sampler was specifically designed to work alongside it.
