the hopebroidery box

Hello, friend! On this page, you'll find basic information and frequently asked questions about my monthly subscription box for hand embroidery, the Hopebroidery Box. If you're interested in purchasing a past box outside of the subscription model, you can find those in the kits section of my shop. Happy stitching! 

The Basics

About + Subscribe

My monthly subscription service, the Hopebroidery Box, is a great starting point if you're interested in learning how to stitch but aren't super excited about the idea of hunting down products and patterns from all over the internet. Each month, I personally curate and build your box of stitching supplies, including fabric, scissors, full skeins of embroidery floss, and more! I also include a pattern and full-length video tutorial where I take you through each step in the process of completing that month's project. Perfect for beginners, the Hopebroidery Box comes in two "sizes": ​ The original Hopebroidery Box comes with at least $45 worth of supplies, including: scissors; fabric; embroidery hoop; 6-7 full skeins of floss; needle and threader; transfer method; and a pattern with accompanying full-length, password-protected video tutorial. Price = $45/month (free shipping to the domestic United States, $15 flat-rate international shipping). ​ The mini Hopebroidery Box is a digital-only subscription. Each month, I email you that month's pattern and tutorial so you can stitch along with me, even if you can't afford and/or don't want all of the supplies in the original box. Price = $12/month (no shipping, it's sent straight to your inbox each month!). To subscribe, click here!



Timeline

You have the entire month to subscribe in time to get *next* month's box. For example, if you sign up for the box in November, your first box will come to you in December. ​ Boxes are shipped (and/or emailed, depending upon your subscription choice) on or around the 4th of the month (e.g., if you subscribed in June, your product will be shipped out on or around July 4). ​ If you're on a month-to-month plan, and would like to cancel your subscription or skip next month's box, I recommend that you make those changes by the 9th, because accounts are automatically re-charged for the next month's box on the 10th, usually right at midnight EST (e.g., cancel by July 9th to avoid being recharged on July 10th for August's box). If you're on a three-month plan, and confused about when your box is set to renew, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly via email - I'm happy to take a look at your account and make sense of it for you! I'm here to help!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it hurt your feelings if I unsubscribe to the box?

Not at all! My goal with this box is to help create new stitchers. If you subscribe for just one month and think you have everything you need to start stitching on your own, then my job is done!



Will I need to buy any additional supplies if I buy the original box?

Nope! I include everything you need to start and complete a project, along with enough supplies to get you through a few more projects of your own.



I can't find my digital pattern this month, where the heck is it?

Please make sure that you are checking the same email you used when you signed up for the box, including your spam and promotions folders, before reaching out. If you still can't find your pattern, please contact me so I can confirm that your subscription is active and I will email one to you directly.



Can I purchase this as a gift?

You sure can! When subscribing, click the "gift" option before submitting all of your information, and Cratejoy will take it from there.



Can I subscribe just once or twice a year, or every other month?

Yes, but to do so you will need to manually unsubscribe, and then resubscribe, each time. A lot of people do this and it seems to work well for them!



How do I share my progress with you?

If you have public social accounts, you can tag me (@hopebroidery) in photos of your work! If you don't have public social accounts, or just don't want to share via social media, that's also okay! I absolutely love getting emails from subscribers with photos of your beautiful work!



Why is the timeline the way it is?

Once I have orders for the next month's box finalized, I use that money to purchase all the products for your box. I do sometimes order more than I need to fulfill all the orders, so keep an eye out on my shop if you're interested in purchasing a few components of past boxes, or boxes that you might have missed!
