Almost all of the embroidery kits on Paraffle are for beginners. Some are easier to complete though, so we've graded them all with a level. Have a look - Beginners - Easy is the easiest level!

I have one free embroidery sampler pattern available in my Embroidery Ideas & Free patterns blog. Any free patterns I do in the future will be in that blog!
