Course Description
Have you ever seen the gorgeous hand-stitching and embroidery on decorative pillows, clothing, and wall-hangings and wish YOU could create your own version of these artistic masterpieces? Join us as we focus on learning different stitches each week, building a repertoire of stitches for use on many different types of sewing/quilting/clothing projects. In this class, we will begin with very basic, simple stitches and quickly move to more advanced stitches. The instructor will walk you through the stitches to help you understand how they are formed and how they build on each other. To help you remember the stitches you've learned, you will create a small fabric book of stitches similar to a sampler to refer to later; by the end of the course you will have several pages in your fabric book. Your instructor will also explain different types of threads and fabrics as well as which to use for a variety of projects.Course Outline
- Class 1: We will cover supplies best suited for each project- threads, needles, fabrics, and stabilizers.
We will start with the very basic stitches, and what they can be used for in the future.
We will get each set of fabric pages started for the book we will be making.
Some of the stitches we will cover in this class are Blanket Stitch, Feather Stitch, and Herringbone Stitch, along with Back Stitch. - Class 2: This class will focus on Knots, such as French Knots, Bullion Knots and many more.
- Class 3: This class will focus on “Stumpwork” Stitches, (3-D Stitches): Drizzle Stitches, Detached & Attached Picot Stitches, Raised Leaf Stitch Raised Cup Stitch, and more.
- Class 4: This class will cover Chain Stitch, Palestrina Knots, Rosette Chain Stitch, and more.
The Book Construction will be covered in this class also. Pages can be added for more stitches, etc.
Each Class will build on the previous class. The stitches we learn can be used for many projects, such as Quilting, Clothing, Purses, Pillows, and so much more. There will be lots of samples shown in each class.
