Getting started in the world of embroidery can seem a little intimidating at first. Learning to embroider can sometimes be daunting when there are so many styles, stitches and techniques to learn. However, compared to other types of embroidery, Chinese (or staple needle) embroidery is much easier for beginners. Using a hollow “magic” needle, simply thread the yarn or thread through the fabric, following the lines of your chosen pattern. You just have to think of an interesting design!
However, if you’re not a creative person, there are plenty of patterns and kits you can buy to get started. Whether you want to make your own Chinese embroidery mat or get creative with a random bag, all you need are a few simple tools and some patience. The supplies you need are a magic needle, some yarn, the right fabric, and a frame to hold the fabric taut.
So that you can unleash your creativity, we’ve compiled a list of some staple needle patterns and kits for you to try at My Modern Met. Whether you’re completely new to this craft or an experienced embroiderer, we’re sure you’ll have fun with these projects.
Here are 10 Chinese needle (or staple needle) projects you can try!
