To get started with embroidery, you will need the following materials:

• Embroidery floss
• Embroidery needle
• Embroidery hoop
• Fabric
• Scissors

1. Choose your fabric. Any fabric can be used for embroidery, but some fabrics are easier to work with than others. Cotton and linen are good choices for beginners, as they are easy to stitch through and hold their shape well.
2. Transfer your pattern to the fabric. If you are using a pattern, you will need to transfer it to the fabric before you can begin stitching. There are a few different ways to do this. You can use a lightbox, trace the pattern with a pencil, or use iron-on transfer paper.
3. Thread your needle. Cut a length of embroidery floss and thread it through the eye of the needle. Double the floss over and knot the ends together to secure it.
4. Start stitching! Bring the needle up through the fabric from the back, and then insert it back down through the fabric a short distance away. Continue stitching in this way, following the pattern.
