11am - 1pm (MT); 12pm - 2pm (CT); 1pm - 3pm (ET); 
Registration for this class will close on Tuesday, Jan 19, 2021 

Review basic stitches and learn complex, decorative embroidery stitches. Learn how to apply stitches to delineating text. Discover tips for transferring images and text onto fabric. Experiment with stitching on different surfaces — paper, fabrics, plastic. Consider embroidery from many angles — a mending tool, a letter-writing tool, a drawing or painting medium, a technique for meditation. 

Stitches will include: review of some basics (French knots, chain stitch) plus others at student request. New stitches: plain weave on and off the fabric/page, blanket stitch, pinwheel stitch, interlaced backstitch, interlaced chain stitch. It is recommended that you have basic embroidery skills (backstitch, satin stitch, chain stitch) for Part II. We will review some basic stitches in Part II; the precise stitches are dependent on the students and their needs.
