Hello! Looking for even MORE fun patterns, threads, workshops and kits from Dropcloth Samplers? Check out our new website- www.dropclothsamplers.com
Dropcloth Samplers is a line of hand-drawn embroidery samplers, printed and ready for you to jump in and start stitching right away. Each pattern is hand drawn by Rebecca Ringquist in her Portland Studio, and printed for you to embroider with your own color choices and design flair. Like a coloring book page for embroidery, these samplers arrive ready to stitch....
My favorite way to share new samplers (and other news from the studio) is with INSTAGRAM. I post what I'm working on @dropcloth. You can share your sampler progress there too- just use the hashtag #dropclothsamplers Thanks so much for sharing what you're stitching!
*I wrote a book! Rebecca Ringquist's Embroidery Workshops is now available, and includes its very own exclusive sampler! - I hope you'll get a copy!

I explained a few stitches from my Stitch Dictionary Sampler in this Etsy How-Tuesday post: https://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/how-tuesday-back-to-school-embroidery/
For more information about Embroidery, and tips for making all of your favorite stitches sing, please checkout my online workshops at Creativebug.com One of the workshops is based on the best selling Original Dropcloth Sampler.

5 out of 5 starsNice sampler. Arrived quickly and was well packaged (despite the apparent mauling t received during shipping.). It’s on fairly thin cotton, so you may or may not choose to use a stabilizer. One of many cute designs from this shop. I will certainly order more as I continue my stitching journey!

4 out of 5 starsThe thread was not included nor were stitch illustrations. These missing items made this kit more expensive than it should have been.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second purchase of Sew Fine DropCloth Samplers honey rose thread gloss. I love it! It's light but works so well. Also, the sent is heavenly! And, the little tin pod it comes in is perfect for small storage of stitching items when you've used all the wax. I will buy more.

Frequently asked questions
What's Included with the samplers?

Where can I see other examples of the finished samplers?
Instagram! Check out the hashtag #dropclothsamplers for tons of beautiful examples of all our designs, stitched by people like you. I hope you'll add yours to the mix!
How should I back my sampler?
For best results, I recommend backing your sampler fabric with a second piece of non stretchy fabric (cotton or linen) before placing your fabric in the hoop. You'll get the flattest, most even stitches this way.
