“O Come, O Come Emmanuel” Digital Guide

I have never embroidered before, but flew through this project in a week. It was so fun, and the instructions are so helpful and easy to follow. I can’t wait to display this during the next holiday season!

I really enjoyed completing this project, my 5th stitch-along with Abide. The pattern is beautiful and the floss colors look even prettier in person. Having the option to purchase preprinted fabric is very handy, as it saves the step of pattern transfer. The guide gives great direction and has clickable links directly to any supplies or how-to videos you might need. But perhaps the best part is the community of stitchers you get to be a part of when you join a stitch-along!

I loved it, the guide was so simple to understand. Can’t wait for the next stitch along!

I completed my first stitch-along! I’m not new to embroidery but this is my first Abide design, and I loved it! Stitching the words made me nervous, but actually the back split stitch worked beautifully. Overall the design was lovely and simple to stitch, with only a few different stitches used, which made it a relaxing activity during the busy advent season. I may have found a new meaningful Christmas tradition.

This was just as great as all the other years I have participated. It’s great for beginners (only 3 different types of stitches) but also pleasant for experienced stitchers. The focus on Jesus while being creative is such a blessing in this season!

This stitch along was perfect for my Advent this year - it wasn't too labor intensive, and this pre-printed fabric made it simple for me to start. Love all of Sarah's work!

This might be my favorite advent stitch along so far! The pattern was simple but beautiful. The guide and videos are super helpful even for a beginner. The facebook group is great and always encouraging. I can't wait to make another one for a gift!

The last few years the Advent Stitch-Along has been one of my favorite ways to prepare for Christmas. The designs are beautiful and with the step by step instructions in the guide, they are easy even for a beginner!

I’m obsessed with this embroidery kit. Everything was easy to follow and the pattern is stunning. Can’t wait to display it!

I love that I can get extra fabric that is preprinted so I can do more than 1 of the advent stitch alongs and give it as a gift. Much easier than trying to transfer the pattern!

This is my 2nd year doing Abide’s Advent Stitch a long and I love it! Creating something beautiful, while reflecting on Jesus’s birth has become one of my favorite Advent traditions. Instructions are easy to follow and I love the digital option with the pre-printed fabric.

In the business of Christmas season its so nice to take time to slow your mind and be intentional. I loved using this kit as a way to do that this season! As always, Sarah's instructions were super easy to follow and the fabric and design themselves were gorgeous!

Each year, I eagerly anticipate participating in this stitch-along. I cherish the opportunity to pause, engage in the art of stitching, and weave in the truth. I am grateful that throughout the holiday season, as we immerse ourselves in the advent stitch-along, I can enjoy the stillness amidst the busy season, allowing me connect with our Heavenly Father. I extend my heartfelt blessings to you and your cherished family. Your small business is a testament to your hard work and dedication. Keep shining the light 💛✨

I was so excited to receive the kit and to open the tissue paper and to see the contents! I was grateful for choosing to purchase the whole kit instead of shipping to find and locate each item needed.
All of it is here and I eagerly await my time of stitching and listening to what the Lord will speak to me during this time! Thank you!

I was so excited to see Sarah's new Advent Stitch-a-long! I purchased the digital guide as soon as it was available, and I actually got started right away as a means to unwind when my children go to bed. I have 9 of the Abide Patterns, and Sarah is so detailed with her instructions that I'm usually pretty pleased with my finished product. All I have left is the bow and lettering. I will say I used Monet blue fabric because Cadet was not in stock at my craft store, so I found the next closest thing I thought would work.

Such a beautiful! The guide is super easy to follow and every part is explained well. Perfect for beginners or anyone wanting a relaxing project!

I absolutely loved this years advent stitch a long! The design and colors were beautiful. The design guides as well as the videos were so incredibly helpful as always.

I love this year's Advent stitch-along. The colors are beautiful and so is the design. Sara does a great job making sure everything is included in the kit and uses clear instructions (videos are so helpful for me as a visual learner!). These are so easy for beginners! I love the thought that has been put into each stitch-along.

I have done almost all of her patterns and love each one! The best, most easy to understand instructions too.

Every year, for the past several years, I try to learn a new skill or craft. For 2026 I wanted to learn embroidery so I decided to jump start my adventure with the advent stitch-a-long. I’m so glad I did! It was easy enough for a beginner due to the detailed instructional videos that are available, but it ends up looking like I’m an experienced embroiderer. Very satisfying! This was also a great way to slow down, focus on Christ, and enjoy the holiday season. I really needed this and am so glad I chose to try this project!

My first advent stitch along- the kit was amazing as always with everything you need!! I tell everyone who will listen about Abide and especially the stitch alongs! I love the group and community!!

This is my first official embroidery project to try and I’ve loved it! My 9 year old ended up joining me, which made it extra special. The guide is not only well done with very clear instructions and links to helpful videos, it is also pretty. The FB group was a bonus because you could get help and encouragement as you worked on the project. 10/10 recommend!

I invited a few friends to learn something new. I was the only one with even a little experience. So far, 4 are learning along with me. Some bought kits, others downloads. Some had to find different colored fabric or used threads they already had with other crafts. But ALL are having so much fun learning together with me!

This pattern is more simple and yet so lovely for Christmas time! I love how the work has been decided into several weeks and it’s all super manageable. All of her YouTube videos are super helpful, and can we just say how amazing the blue background is?! Make sure to grab this one so you can add it to your Christmas decorations!!

Such a beautiful design as always!🤗
