Free Online Embroidery Patterns

Free Embroidery Patterns, Instructions and Photos

Emma Salk
Embroidery is a unique craft that can turn ordinary string into works of art. The problem with embroidery, though, is that patterns can be expensive and, sometimes, difficult to find. Looking for free patterns? Look no further than the internet for all the free embroidery patterns, instructions, and finished project photos.

At Emb Library, you'll find all the free embroidery patterns you could use in a lifetime. And, most of the projects aren't your old humdrum patterns of flowers and butterflies, either. How about patterns for embroidered dream catchers, mirror art, purses, baskets, celebration flags, cards and unique ornaments.

The site is huge and has listings by category like 15 minute designs, creatures, alphabets, masks, miniatures, patriotic, quilts, special occasion, toile and world cultures. The instructions are extremely detailed, even offering instructions on some as to how you can create various sizes of the same project.

The patterns begin with a picture of the finished project, then take you step-by-step through each move. Some pattern places allow you free patterns, but they aren't detailed like they are at Emb Library. And, the site offers other free projects besides embroidery designs, too.

You'll find a nice selection of free videos to help you do some of the projects, which is something you rarely see at free project sites. They have free videos for everything from appliques to fringe to towel designs. Besides free videos you'll also get tips, techniques and guides, right at the site. Some of the tips and guides include checklists, lace variations, thick thread tips, tension suggestions and much more.

View projects others have finished, enter contests and win prizes, or submit a tip to others. You can also order all your embroidery needs from the site. The prices are competitive, and if you purchase from their sale page, you'll save even more.

If you love embroidery, you'll love this site, and you'll never finish all the projects in your lifetime, most likely. If you do, though, you'll have kids' items, garments and fashions, flowers, heirlooms, holiday items, home decor creations, Native American designs, religious items, seasonal designs, sports and hobby projects, and so much more.

You'll absolutely love this website for all your newest embroidery creations. Your friends and family will be stunned at how well you know your craft, but they won't know how easy it was to create all the embroidery designs with the guides at Emb Library.
