About

Learn these seven essential embroidery stitches (and a few variations): straight, running, back, stem, buttonhole, chain, and French knots. We'll discuss how these stitches can be used to help express linear effects, fill areas, and provide texture.

Materials

A $15 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers all the materials you'll need, including a fabric base, embroidery threads, needles, four-inch round embroidery hoop, a small illustrated book of embroidery stitches, and  reference sheet with online and book resources to explore.

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
