Doreen
So well explained
Absolutely stunning! And so very well explained! You'll find everything you need to start embroidery, from the needles, the choice of fabric to how to do the stitches with pictures and everything! One of the best written patterns I've ever tried! So worth it. Thank you ♥️
Marie
Such a satisfying challenge!
Stitching the whole collection was such a satisfying challenge! At first I thought I would gift them to friends and family, and maybe I will eventually, but they look so cute hanging on my wall as a complete set, I couldn’t resist keeping them for myself. I’m especially proud because I am virtually a beginner, but the instructions are very easy to follow! These are beautiful designs, with colors that mix and match throughout. I highly recommend this zodiac set, if I can do them, anyone can!

Stunning ornaments, perfect for a newbie!
These Easter ornaments are stunning, and the patterns are written to perfection. No detail is omitted, which is perfect for a newbie like me. Tamara responds to questions very quickly, and offers full explanations, so don't hesitate to purchase from her!
Susan

Another beautiful and easy to follow pattern from Tamara! Her clear instructions and helpful tips from start to finish make these patterns enjoyable to use and they turn out so lovely!
Chelsea Anne
A great mix of stitches
This is such a beautiful design and I really enjoyed stitching it! There is a great mix of different types of stitches and really clear and helpful instructions. Thank you!
Sam
A perfectly written pattern
I am a relative newbie to embroidery, but have no fear at all of Tamara's patterns as they are perfectly written. I've found some rather simple embroidery patterns from other shops that I have struggled with as they are very poorly written, but not these! Tamara's well explained patterns will get you through anything, and these patterns fit the learning curve perfectly. You'll love the results!
Susan
A lovely set of patterns
This is such a lovely set of patterns for embroidery. I am fairly new at embroidery, this set being only my third attempt. It was not overly difficult for me as a newly but yet challenging, so I stayed very interested in the project. I made a couple of errors but you can’t really tell. 10 out of 10! I needed some help with pattern transfer and Tamara was incredibly responsive and helpful! I have finished 2 of the 4 patterns so far.
Nancy
Wonderful, detailed pattern
This is such a wonderful pattern, I cannot recommend it enough. Not only is the final result just gorgeous, but the pattern is so detailed and covers everything you might need. With guides to stitches, transferring the pattern to felt, from start to finish this project was a joy!
Rebecca
Lovely range of stitches
Another stunning pattern! I absolutely love the range of stitches used. Pushed me to try stitches that I thought would be too advanced for my skill level but presented them in a way that made them attainable. I highly recommend this series of samplers!
Carolyn
Perfect for Halloween
I love this pattern! It is so fun! The colors work great together. It’s the perfect pattern for Halloween and cat lovers. The stitches are varied, which makes for a fun project. I have loved doing this embroidery! The directions are very thorough and the pictures are very helpful! Definitely recommend this pattern and seller!
Kaitlyn
I couldn’t be happier!
This was the third of four patterns I've purchased from Tamara, and I couldn't be more happy! She responds to tags on Instagram and is super helpful and friendly. Directions are clear and easy to follow. If you're thinking of getting this pattern, just do it!
Chelsea Anne
Pure perfection
Tamara's patterns are pure perfection, and she very kindly and quickly answers any questions. I loved her chicken and egg pattern, so knew I could do this, even though I've only been embroidering for a week. No detail is omitted, and complex as it looks, she breaks it down so anyone can understand it and have great success. My absolute favorite shop for felt embroidery patterns!
Susan
So well explained
Such a great pattern, the perfect balance of new and tried and true stitches. The more intricate pieces are so well explained, perfect for any skill level.
Cindy
Great customer service!
I highly recommend The Hoop in Hand as the go-to-place for quality embroidery patterns. Tamara has a wide selection to choose from. All lovely and adorable. Also, when I needed help with my download, she replied quickly and I had the pattern printed out in minutes. Great customer service! I definitely will be a return customer!
Diane
Really detailed instructions
These are so pretty and I can’t wait to get started! The instructions look really detailed and I love that the different seasons use some of the same colors so there is a little less to buy/keep track of plus they all go together!
Drea
Over the moon
This is an amazing piece of work by the designer. I was over the moon to be able to purchase it to broaden my embroidery technique. It is so well written to follow the instructions. I would highly recommend you give it a try.
Julie
Different stitches, beautiful colours!
Tamara never disappoints with these patterns! Different stitches and a beautiful color palette to maintain your interest the entire time you’re stitching. I really enjoy the fact that the stitches utilized aren’t something you commonly see (ex: buttonhole). It challenges you but it’s so fun to ace another type of stitch! The instructions are clear and detailed. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed stitching this pattern and it’ll be deserving of a nice frame once I’m done with it ♥️
Hanna
Stunning pattern
Absolutely stunning pattern and easy to follow instructions. This is the first time I've purchased a downloadable pattern but the process was easy and I can use my own craft supplies to complete the project. Such lovely designs, I want to embroider them all! Thank you!
