                Embroidery hoops:  An embroidery hoop is a tool used   Fig 4
                in needlework, consisting of two circular rings that fit
                together to hold fabric taut while embroidering, allowing
                for easier stitching by keeping the fabric stretched and
                stable; essentially, it’s a frame that keeps the fabric in
                place while you work on it with embroidery needles.
                It  is  used  to  hold  fabric  taut  while  stitching.  We  use
                plastic ones for stitching and wooden ones for framing
                embroideries. (Fig 1)

                                                                       Fig 5

                Embroidery needles: An embroidery needle is a
                long, sharp needle with a an eye that is used for hand
                embroidery. (Fig 2)
                 Fig 2                                                                  Pashmina cloth
                                                                      An iron and ironing board are extremely important to
                                                                      press fabric before you embroider. Any ironing board will
                                                                      do, but steam iron with multiple temperature settings for
                                                                      best results. (Fig 6)

                Embroidery fabric can be almost any type of fabric!
                However - linen,  cotton, pashmina, toosha and  are all
                great beginner embroidery fabrics because they’re easy
                to work with. (Figs 3-5)
