In this class you will learn all essential hand embroidery techniques you'll need to develop a hand embroidery toolkit. You will be able to use this toolkit confidently every time you pick up a needle and embroidery project, whether it is for this class project or any other projects to come in the future.

In this class I will talk your through the supplies you’ll need and you will learn how to transfer your embroidery design depending on the fabric you are using, how to thread up your needle and how to start and finish your embroidery thread.

You will also learn how to stitch and use common or useful embroidery stitches, that you will be able to apply straight away in your class project but that will be useful for any future projects as well.

This class is for you if your are a complete beginner and don't know where to start. Or you might have done stitching before but feel a little rusty and want to brush up your skills.

Project Resources

There are several project resources for the class that you can download on the right. The project resources found in this class include:

- Template for Class Project - A plain design of your class project for you to download and trace.

- Stitch Plan - The stitch plan includes the order in which you stitch each element, plus what type of stitch to choose for each element and what colour embroidery thread to use.

- List of Supplies Needed - I have included a list of supplies needed for the class. The document also includes some brands that I have used and am happy with. Plus it includes some suggested suppliers other than Amazon, if you want to support smaller businesses.

- Summary of Transfer Methods and When to Use - This is a summary of transfer methods we discussed in class. The methods listed are matched to fabrics and situations when to use them.

So let's get started - see you in class!
