The Sumptuous Summer Flowers Embroidery Kit by Aurora Menendez is designed for intermediate-level crafters who want to refine their needlework technique through a structured, elegant floral project. This kit offers the convenience of a pre-printed design and high-quality materials to create a professional-grade embroidery display, though it requires existing familiarity with basic stitching as the project uses seven distinct stitch types.

While the kit is labeled as intermediate, a beginner with a strong interest in learning various stitches can complete it by following the provided video tutorials.
Yes, a high-quality embroidery needle appropriate for the Mouliné Spécial thread is included in the box.
The kit comes with a 14.5cm hoop, which is sufficient for the provided fabric size. You may use a larger hoop if you prefer, provided you can maintain tension.
The pre-printed design is intended to be covered by your embroidery stitches. It is generally recommended to keep the piece dry.
The kit includes nine skeins of DMC Mouliné Spécial, which are color-matched to the floral design.
You can access the tutorials via the DMC website using the instructions provided in your kit.
Stop, loosen the hoop screw slightly, pull the fabric edges taut again, and re-tighten the screw firmly.
Use shorter lengths of thread (roughly 45cm) and let the needle hang freely periodically to untwist the strands.
Refer to the DMC online video tutorials associated with this specific kit for a slow-motion demonstration.
To begin, loosen the tension screw on the 14.5cm hoop, place the fabric over the inner ring, and secure the outer ring over it. Tighten the screw until the fabric is taut like a drum. Always use the provided needle to prevent damage to the pre-printed fabric. When finished, keep the embroidery away from direct sunlight to prevent thread fading. If the fabric needs cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water, gently blotting the area without rubbing the stitched sections. Ensure the piece is completely dry before hanging it in your chosen frame.
