Embroider with me

I’m Laura S. Urbina, a graduate in French Haute Couture tambour embroidery from the prestigious École Lesage (Paris) and Studio Eyral.

Before diving into the fascinating universe of embroidery, I earned a PhD in aerospace engineering and worked as a university lecturer. My background taught me precision, creativity, and problem-solving—all skills I bring to the art of embroidery.

When I first began embroidering, I craved the simple joy of stitching—just time to immerse myself in the art. But finding high-quality designs tailored to tambour embroidery with the Lunéville hook? It was impossible and incredibly frustrating.

That’s why I decided to create what I couldn’t find:

A collection of expertly designed embroidery projects, now available with carefully curated kits. Each project includes everything you need—the PDF guide with step-by-step instructions, a close-up video tutorial, detailed technical drawings, expert advice, and the option to purchase the materials kit—ensuring your creative time is effortless and inspiring.

Every pattern is crafted from an educator’s perspective: simple, effective, and thoughtfully structured, so you can dive straight into the joy of embroidery. Make each moment at the embroidery frame effortless and inspiring.

Yes… and no!

If you already embroider with a needle, you can use the needle-only projects without any problem. However, for the rest of the patterns and video tutorials, you’ll need some basic experience with the Lunéville hook—but don’t worry, you can get there!

I recommend starting with the Online Embroidery Courses, where you’ll learn the essentials: handling the Lunéville hook, the start stitch, end stitch, and chain stitch. These three stitches are key to begin with tambour embroidery.

Once you’re comfortable with them, you’ll be ready to explore the Embroidery Video Tutorials and Embroidery Patterns! I suggest starting with the beginner level to practice and build confidence—then, the embroidery universe is yours to explore!

Absolutely! In fact, I created these designs while preparing for my own hand embroidery exam in France. Like you, I needed to practice specific techniques—again and again—until I mastered them. These resources are designed to help you do the same.

If you’re preparing for an embroidery exam, make the most of your training:

Online Embroidery Courses – Perfect if you’re an absolute beginner and need a structured learning path.
Embroidery Video Tutorials – Ideal if you’re familiar with the techniques but still want guided practice.
Embroidery Patterns – Best for confident embroiderers who prefer to work independently.

With dedicated practice, you’ll be well-prepared to excel in your exam!

To complement the Embroidery Video Tutorials and Embroidery Patterns, you have the option to purchase a corresponding materials kit, making it easy to get started right away.

Of course, you’re also free to source your own materials or use supplies you already have at home. To guide you, each PDF includes non-affiliated product links, showing exactly what materials I use here in France. While these exact supplies may not be available in your country, they’ll serve as a helpful reference so you can find the closest alternatives.

Each embroidery project is designed for a specific experience level:

The Online Embroidery Courses and Embroidery Video Tutorials, created for beginners, provide video guidance and step-by-step instructions to help you work independently.
The Embroidery Patterns are meant for more experienced embroiderers who already know the stitches used in each pattern. Before purchasing an embroidery pattern, please ensure you’re familiar with the techniques involved. If you’re not, I recommend starting with the corresponding Embroidery Video Tutorial, where you’ll be guided step by step through the project.

If you encounter any difficulties along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss your challenge and I’ll offer tips and solutions to help you move forward, whether through a phone or video call.
