This workshop introduces beginners to freestyle hand embroidery. In this style, stitches are applied freely, disregarding the weave or structure of the ground cloth. Students follow along with a provided template, while putting their own spin through color choice and stitch application. Learn how to select and prepare fabric using a simple design, ready a hoop, and begin stitching. The class covers several different stitches to achieve various textures and marks, including the basic stitch, backstitch, and satin stitch.
