Back to Basics Class the Right Way…  Bad Habits Broken Here
Have you ever sat in a class and hear a direction given by a teacher and wonder, “What is he/she talking about?” or been corrected for not executing a technique properly because you never learned it properly? Well, most stitchers were never taken by the hand from Day One and taught all of the proper “do’s” and “don’ts” about stitching. This class was designed to fill the holes in your technique and get you stitching to the best of your ability. It was originally designed for beginning stitchers but all levels of stitchers can benefit from this class. It does begin right at the very beginning, a very good way to start. What constitutes a good kit of tools, how to read the warp and weft of the canvas when there is no selvage, beginning and ending threads, a needle study, an in depth study of Basketweave, tracking patterns, compensation, setting up trellises and couching patterns, and different types of appliqué are a few of the subjects we will investigate.
