Learning to embroider

I decided to try to learn how to embroider. I ordered a kit on Temu. There were written instructions very, very limited information. Then, I found a QR code with video. yay! The video was in a foreign language. So, I used a lot of help from YouTube and my aunt Patricia to get me started. I'm currently working on project #2 . My biggest goal for this one was to get it in the frame before anything fell out.
