Beginning Embroidery
Dip a toe into the world of tiny stitches by learning 9 key embroidery stitches in this three-evening class. As we go, students will build our stitches with plenty of repetition to perfect their style.
We will create depth through layering, use color to create shading and surface stitches to add dimension. Through the magic of embroidery, learning nine stitches will leave students with the ability to do thirteen stitches and the skills to complete many embroidery projects.
In the first session students will learn how to hoop their fabric, safety tips, handle needle threaders and floss, how to weave in ends, and three basic stitches.
In the second session students will build on their previous work and learn four more stitches.
The last session students will learn the final two stitches and how to finish their embroidery culminating in a splash party to remove the stich and stich material from their work and reveal the final beautiful picture.
