Embroidery

This course teaches hand surface embroidery the way working stitchers actually do it, built on quilting-weight cotton, an embroidery hoop, and DMC six-strand cotton floss. You will choose and prepare fabric, transfer a design with the right method for your cloth, separate and thread floss, and work backstitch, satin stitch, stem stitch, French knots, and lazy daisy so they sit smooth and even. By the end you can plan, transfer, stitch, press, and mount a small piece in its hoop, and know exactly why each habit keeps your tension consistent and the back of your work clean.
