    Can someone with dyspraxia (a developmental coordination disorder) do embroidery, or are they better off choosing another hobby?

    Community Answer
    It would depend on the level of the disability. I would suggest starting with a simple pattern and going from there. The only way to know if you can do it is to try. There are many embroidery techniques, some may come easily to you, some may be too challenging. Give it a try and see how it goes.
