Exploring stitches seems to be something Hideaway Stitchers want to do so we’ll explore surface stitches in this Notebook Class. Organized by technique, we’ll study Ribbon Embroidery stitches, Crewel Embroidery stitches, and American Surface Embroidery. This will be an ongoing class that will result in the student compiling a notebook of stitched samples. Special emphasis will be placed on design using the stitches learned. Kit will include fabric and threads, needles, stitch diagrams, and a notebook to store samples. Part I is not required to participate in Part II as each is a stand-alone class. Student to bring scissors, hoop or Q-Snap, and magnification, if needed.

Tracey will continue her beading notebook class that began this past Spring, although attendance in the first class is not a pre-requisite to Part II. This installment will include Netting, Right Angle Weave and Spiral Stitches. The notebook will provide you with a central location for instructions, history and examples of each stitch learned. Kit will include a notebook, instructions, diagrams, beads, needle and thread. Student to bring scissors and magnification, if needed. This is a repeat of the Fall class for those who missed it.
