Workshop description

Come learn the art of embroidery! This is a beginning workshop to teach you how to get started with this fun craft. You will learn all the basics and leave knowing how to do embroidery even if you’ve never done needlework before. 

Instruction will be provided on how to transfer a design to fabric, choose fabrics, tighten a hoop, thread your needle, knot your needle, create a variety of stitches, switch threads, and finish off your project by learning a few display methods. 

All the materials you will need are included in the workshop and you can take them all home, so you have everything you need to do another embroidery project!

All materials are included and the following are yours to take home: fabric, 5 skeins of embroidery floss, needle, embroidery hoop, heat erasable pen, paper bobbins, mini embroidery scissors, and a digital PDF guide to refresh your mind on the stitches after class.
