I always recommend using an embroidery hoop. It helps maintain the tension of the stitches and makes it easier to handle your project.
I tend to use a 6" hoop and move it to whichever section of the design I am working on.
Yes, definitely! My kits are designed to be easy and enjoyable for beginners, using just a few basic stitches. Even the more detailed kits are repetitive and relaxing to complete.
