Q: I can't seem to find the tutorial, is there a link from this page?NancyAsked by Nancy C., May 2022
Hey, Nancy! Thanks so much for reaching out and letting me know your instructions were missing. I email those when boxes ship at the start of each month, and because those emails might get lost or sent to spam I'm more than happy to re-send them! :) I've gone ahead and re-sent the instructions to the email address I have on file for you -- please feel free to reach out to me directly if you don't see that come through (so we can keep your email address private). And please don't hesitate to reach back out should you have any other questions whatsoever, I'm happy to help! :) - Hope
Q: This looks so adorable! Would you recommend this kit for someone just learning and is the very beginning stages of being a beginner? 😊Asked by Becki B., April 2021
Hey, Becki! Thank you so much! To answer your question, YES, these kits are *super* beginner-friendly. Each project comes with a link to a full-length, step-by-step video tutorial where I take you through everything from start to finish (how to thread a needle, transferring your design, stitch-by-stitch instructions, how to back your hoop, etc.). I think of it as being almost like a virtual workshop - the difference being, you can go at a pace that works best for you! I hope that's helpful, but don't be afraid to reach back out should you have any other questions whatsoever!
Q: Is there a waiting list I can join for when a subscription opens up? Thank you.Asked by Teri S., March 2021
Hey, Teri! Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, I do not have an official waiting list at this time. I'm able to open up subscriptions on or around the 11th of each month, which means subscriptions for the April box will likely open on Thursday, March 11. I hope this is helpful!
Q: When is my subscription billed?Asked by John B., September 2020
Hey, John! That's a great question. If this is your first time subscribing, you'll be billed immediately upon subscribing; you'll be billed again the next month on the 9th. For example, if you were to sign up today (September 25), you'll be billed today for the October Box, and then again on October 9th for the November box. You can always change your subscription by canceling or skipping a month before your next bill date, and if you ever have any issues navigating the system I'm happy to help you get your account changed manually from my end (just email me - for example, if you want to skip or cancel, but can't get it to work, shoot me an email before your next bill...
I've loved each of the designs for the months I've received the box. The colors for fabric and threads are always fun and colors I never would have chosen to go together. Also, the instructions are super detailed and helpful for anyone who is just getting started.
Kristin, thank you so very much for this thoughtful review! I am so excited to hear you love your boxes and the projects. :) I would love for you to tell me some of your favorite color combinations at some point (either here or through email!!), maybe I can challenge myself to incorporate them into a future project one day!! And I am so, so happy to hear you're pleased with the instructions, you know my goal is to make these as beginner-friendly as possible so this is exactly the sort of feedback I look for! Thank you so much again! -Hope
This is my first box, and I’m so happy with it!
Hey, Erica! Thank you so much for your review, and I'm so happy you're happy with your first box!! I can't wait to see what you make!! :) :) :) Hope
I love this small, simple project box with clear instructions. I'm working on improving my embroidery skills and this is the perfect way to find a new one to work on every month. My absolute favorite are the scissors. I collect small scissors and getting new ones monthly is my little treat.
Sarah, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! I am so happy to hear you like your boxes and especially happy to hear from a fellow scissor collector!! Happy stitching! Hope
Great box! I love everything, especially the cute little scissors. I love the design for the project too. I also love the videos with Hope. She makes it easy to learn the project.
Thank you so much for this review, Jaine! I'm so glad you added a photo of your hoop!!! I LOVE what you made! :) I wanted to update my reply with your updated project! I love this - so beautiful - I so appreciate you sharing your projects with me!!
This is a really cute and fun box. You gets enough materials to make the project several times over. I'm really enjoying my kit.
Hey, Teresa! Thanks so much for this sweet review, I so appreciate it and I'm so happy you're happy with your kit!
What a great little kit! I finished my first one over two separate afternoons. The fabric, floss, and needles are all very high quality, and even though I do have some supplies, it was really nice that I didn't have to go digging for them and could just get started. Hope's video instructions are great -- she is great at explaining how to do different stitches, and her voice and teaching style are so soothing and friendly. I will say that as a lefty, I did forget that I had to mirror things and got tangled up as a result, especially on the French knots (I don't care if I never do French knots again, to be honest), but for the most part, I did find the steps easy to follow. I'm really looking forward to the next box!
Johna! Thank you so much for this thorough and thoughtful review! I also so, so appreciate you bringing up left-handedness - I think it could be useful for me to spend some time mirroring tutorials for more difficult stitches (like the French knot) to make them easier for left handed stitchers to follow! Such an important thing for me to keep in mind, thank you so much again!
i have been a hopebroidery subscriber since August 2018. hope prepares the boxes with absolute love and thoughtfulness. you really couldn't ask for a better subscription to learn embroidery. hope explains everything you need to know in the tutorial videos and provides a PDF with a diagram of each stitch we'll be using. the diagram is great because after a few months you can use it as a test of what you've learned. don't remember chain stitch? watch the tutorial! the box has everything you need. you won't be running to the craft store because you forgot that one color you needed. you have it. hope sent it to you. you will love your hopebroidery box!!
Tammi, thank you SO much for this thorough and thoughtful review. I am so grateful you chose to stitch with me and SO happy you had a great experience!
I really love the color palates! I do wish that the fabric was pretty-printed, but I’ll have fun Wynn this project!
Wendolyn, Thank you so much for this review! I so appreciate your thoughts - and actually, having a box project with printed fabric sounds like a super fun idea for a future kit! :)
My fear is that I won't be able to accurately convey how wonderful this subscription box is. This box has given me so much joy. I started it when my husband was away for a few months and it was a treat to myself. I kept going because it was just such a wonderful addition to my life.
Shipping
I live overseas at a military base. It is very hard to find people that want to ship me craft supplies (I'm looking at you, big box craft stores), and Hope makes sure to do the customs form so that I can have this subscription.
Quality of Products
I am now obsessed with tiny scissors. You think you'll get too many, BUT ITS NOT POSSIBLE. The embroidery floss is fantastic, needle in every box so you don't even need to keep track of it. There is enough fabric to COMPLETELY mess up and start over.
Curation
Hope makes full length videos of the entire process. I started knowing absolutely nothing about embroidery. You can learn everything you need to through her videos!! She start with everything that comes in the box. And then she takes you through the pattern. It's fantastic. Additionally, her instagram has fabulous content so you can continue to learn.
Jacqueline! Thank you so, so much for this thorough and thoughtful review! I'm so grateful to have had you has a subscriber!
Cutest little box! Digital portion helpful for first timers exploring new hobbies such as myself. Thank you for great service and products!
Thanks so much, Mahasen! I'm so happy to know the digital portion was helpful to you - please don't hesitate to reach out to me should you have any questions about embroidery! I'm always happy to help! :)
