Free Hand Embroidery Patterns - Index

Do you want to embroider, but find it difficult to narrow down a pattern? Does pattern-design take up too much time for you? Are you always looking for new embroidery patterns to add to your library? Here are some favorite hand embroidery patterns - and they're free! Many of these come from out-of-print, old catalogs. They are in the "copyright free" category. I want to make them available to you so that you can enjoy creating beautiful embroidered goods.

I'll be updating the list as I get the graphics ready, so check back often! Add yourself to the site feed via e-mail or via feedreader, for easy notifications of updates.

Hi there! I'm new to embroidery and just found your site. It is very helpful and I want to thank you for that. I do have a question, though. What is the best way to transfer patterns to material?

Thanks,

ThankYou for these great patterns!!

I appreciate so much finding patterns that aren't copyrighted, and I enjoy these historical motifs. I'd love to know when and where they came from, and what source. Could you please consider letting us know these on future patterns?

This is a great website. I'll be checking back! :D

Blessings

Hmm... I'm not really sure what you mean? Perhaps "praying hands"? If so, you could take this image and reduce or enlarge it and trace it:

These are great. I only have the problem of being such a beginner that I have to be told what stitches to use and what colors!

I also wish there was a way to take a cross stitch pattern and change it to freestyle, y'know?

Thanks!

I know exactly what you mean, Dawn!!! Glad you like the patterns. The nice thing about free style surface embroidery is that you can use whatever colors you want, however you want to use them! Experiment! The more familiar you get with stitches and threads, the more you'll settle into what you like best.

Have fun with it!!
