Yes! I accept returns within 30 days of delivery for items other than digital downloads and customized kits. Buyers are responsible for return delivery costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value. Digital downloads are non-refundable.

Sometimes things don't go as planned. I will first make every effort to coordinate delivery with the carrier. Expected shipping times vary by region, but I will issue a full refund for items that are well and truly lost.

Mistakes happen sometimes. If an item is returned because the address was provided was incorrect or is simply not picked up by the receiver, a refund will be issued less the ACTUAL cost of shipping. If the order is returned damaged as well, no refund will be issued.

While some patterns are more ambitious than others, it's still just one stitch at a time. All of the stitches in my patterns are suitable for beginners. Of course, you can always use simple or more challenging beginner stitches to achieve different but still oh-so-satisfying results.

I love to see people sharing their final hoop on Instagram with a note that says “my first embroidery project!” I'm so grateful to play a part in people's first foray into embroidery, and want them to enjoy it and be proud of their finished creation. If you have any questions about the difficulty of any particular kit, don't hesitate to ask. Send us an email or a direct message via Facebook or Inst

While my kits are intended for adults, lots of young humans have stitched up our patterns too. Every human is different, and some kids will take to stitching faster than others. The trickier parts are threading the needle and mastering hand-eye coordination when moving the needle up from behind the fabric. These are skills that are learned with practice, just like moving a spoon into your mouth. As with any project, be mindful of the appropriateness of working with small, sharp needles and scissors. Needles and scissors can cause serious injury.

We're not perfect, but we're trying very hard to limit our environmental footprint. Our packaging and materials are paper (recycled content when possible) rather than single use plastic. Each kit is currently plastic free! Every effort is made to minimize waste in production and in day-to-day operations.

Poverty alleviation has always been important to me. Hook, Line & Tinker is more than a creative business; it has given me the opportunity to bring craft, and business, and values into one career, and I could not be happier or more grateful. I donate 5% of profits to organizations that support women and children experiencing homelessness and actively volunteer. Our charity of choice is Adsum for Women and Children.
