Beginner Hand Embroidery: Stab Something Beautiful!

Ready to turn mild frustration into fine art? Join our Beginner Hand Embroidery Class, where you'll learn to stab fabric repeatedly—with purpose and style! Whether you're crafty, clueless, or just looking for an excuse to sit down for two hours with no one asking you for anything, this class is for you.

We’ll cover all the basics:

•  How to thread a needle without crying
•  What in the world a “hoop” is and why it matters
• Several basic stitches – backstitch, stem stitch, lazy daisies, French knots and some more advanced stitches if you’d like to be fancy!

By the end, you’ll leave with your very own embroidered masterpiece—or at least something that looks great from a distance.

No experience needed. No need to run to the craft store and pick up 100 things for class, I will have your basic materials for you. If you have a lightbox, please bring it with you (it is not a requirement, I will have my box available to share). For the experienced stitcher, if you would like to come join like-minded people for class feel free to bring your own WIP.

For clarity, this is NOT cross-stitch. I do not have the first clue how to begin one of those projects!

Make sure you pack your patience because there will be minor tangles… I hope to see you in class!
