Paper & Wood Embroidery Pattern FAQ
Level 1 (The Basics): Uses 1–2 fundamental stitches (such as straight, running, or back stitch). Simple, relaxing projects focused on the basics that are quick and easy to finish.
Level 2 (Building Skills): Uses 3 or more stitches and introduces techniques requiring more density, layering, or precision (like French knots, where you navigate going back down the same hole).
