Sometimes we are stumped with what embroidery design we want to use. Perhaps we are bored with our normal go to pattern, or maybe we just can’t find the perfect fit for a project.
This amazing list from NeedleNThread has over 100 free Hand Embroidery Patterns to choose from. Wow! I don’t even know where to begin, but they are all beautiful. They have everything from borders to flowers. Some of my favorite ones are featured above. Have you used a chart from this roundup? Pop back and let us know. View all the patterns here.
There are so many different designs that we couldn’t narrow it down to one top 10 or top 20 so that is why we are linking to their complete 100 free embroidery design collection. We hope you get lost in the designs as much as we did.

I’m looking for realistic woodland creatures, forest animals to embroidery or to do crool work patterns. Having a hard time finding what I’m looking for.
Look for Trish Burr designs, or Helen Stevens. Both have books that might be available at your local library. If you find a picture you like, make a black & white copy then put tracing paper over it and trace the outlines–broken lines could indicate stitch direction or color changes. Ot look at Audubon magazines at the library.
