Really wanted to learn embroidery so I picked up several kits and I have now officially completed my first one! Hope you like! :)

I love it! I've been contemplating trying my hand at embroidery recently. Any tips?

You can get started quite easily with complete kits on Etsy (check to make sure it comes with a hoop). Try to go for a small piece for the beginning.

Take your time when stitching and undoing parts is at least for me not out of the ordinary :D

I learned that I like cross stitch more. So I can highly recommend to try it as well.

Definitely what ComfortableRaspberry said, get a kit (this one was a kit and took me a couple weeks just doing it in my free time) and take your time! Enjoy it, and with all first attempts, don't be afraid to suck!
