What is the embroidery community?

The embroidery community is made up of people who appreciate needlework, online and offline, from stitcher to historian. Imagine how each little, unique stitch comes together to form the whole picture. We are those stitches, and we come together to make a picture of the world of embroidery online.

• You can give and receive embroidery help in the online community.
• You can share your favorite hand embroidery patterns and give feedback about what others have made.
• You can share sewing machine reviews for machine embroidery or free motion embroidery.

• You can easily subscribe to my Embroidery Blog for your RSS reader.
• You can subscribe to my monthly newsletter The Embroidery Sampler for your email. Newsletter subscribers are highly encouraged to participate, sharing thoughts and stories to make each issue interesting and unique!

I have also compiled a list of the best books for the embroidery community, featuring my favorite how to directions and patterns.

For ideas about how to share this wonderful hobby with children, check out the embroidery for kids page, or there's the embroidery for seniors page.
