Beginner Kits

Every Jumpseat Therapy kit is made with beginners in mind, and this collection gathers our very easiest designs to learn on. If you've never picked up a needle before, start here. Each kit uses stamped fabric — the design is printed right onto the cloth — so there's no chart-reading, no counting, and no guesswork. You simply match the floss colors to the pattern and stitch. Everything you need comes in the box: pre-sorted embroidery floss, 14CT stamped AIDA fabric, a needle, finishing hardware, and friendly step-by-step instructions. The projects are small and quick, so you'll have a finished piece — and a real sense of accomplishment — in just a few relaxing hours. Choose your first design below and discover why stitching is the calming hobby you didn't know you needed.
