Class Description: Fabrics, threads, needles, hoops, frames - where do you start? Back to Basics will give you a working knowledge of the stitchery basics that we're supposed to know, but do we?
If you are a newer stitcher, this is the stuff you're supposed to learn but no one ever really teaches
you. If you are an experienced stitcher, perhaps it's time for a review or maybe, just maybe, time to catch up on stuff that slid under the radar. The class is not meant to be an end-all, be-all, but to give you a working knowledge of stitchery basics that we all should have a handle on. This in turn gives you what you need to know to be comfortable forging on in any direction you want to go.
This class was written as a 6-lesson course, but I've also presented it in three 2-hour sessions. Comprehensive handouts will be provided for each lesson, that may be kept for future reference along with any notes that you take during the classes. Do understand that this class is not about stitching
"finished projects".
For those that may be interested, I will follow up with a zoom (at everyone's convenience) of 10 basic embroidery stitches that everyone should be comfortable with, and a small sampler may be stitched using them. This follow-up is optional.
The three classes will run as follows:
• January: Types or stitching fabrics and types of stitching threads
• February: Needles, tools, hoops, frames, and stands
• March: Starting/ending stitching threads; transferring patterns to the stitching fabric, reading a
chart
