Summary

Preview all 16 finished samplers in our exclusive Look Book!

A sampler is a project made from a "sampling" of different stitches or different motifs. Once the learning tool that helped generations of girls master basic needlework skills, this traditional project is still a great way to learn and practice embroidery skills—as well as a creative way to add color to a room or a fabric item.

  • Covers samplers in several different styles: cross-stitch, counted thread, surface, and freestyle embroidery
  • Creative uses for sampler art beyond the basic wall hanging: gift bags, ornaments, scarves, tote bags, and more
  • Includes a how-to section with step-by-step instructions for basic embroidery stitches and sewing skills
  • 16 projects for decorative sampler designs plus creative variations
