Beginning Embroidery

Looking to try embroidery but not sure where to start? Come to our Beginning Embroidery Workshop and learn all the basics:

​

• Basic Stitches: such as running stitch, back stitch, satin stitch and more.
• Materials: fabric, thread, needles, and hoops provided.
• Pattern Transfer: how to transfer patterns onto fabric.
• Hoop Usage: how to keep your fabric taut with an embroidery hoop.
• Finishing Techniques: ways to finish your embroidery project, like framing or creating a pillow.

​

You’ll leave the workshop with the foundation you need to create your own beautiful, stitched designs.
