Looking to learn how to embroider or brush up on the basics? Join us for this embroidery workshop with the talented Amanda Farrell of Embroidered Panda who will help you build a solid foundation while also teaching you some surprising stunners for your next project. With plenty of hands-on guidance and time to practice, you'll gain the skills you need to start your own embroidery projects, embellish existing pieces, or even add unique touches to your clothing.
You'll learn the essential techniques that every embroiderer needs, including how to hoop your fabric properly, how to begin and end your stitching cleanly, secrets to making the smoothest stitches, and how to finish your hoop for hanging and display.
Throughout the workshop, you'll master a variety of stitches including backstitch and whipped backstitch, seed stitch, french knots, brick stitch, satin stitch, split stitch, woven rose, couching, jacobean couching and trellis, blanket stitch, fly stitch, and weave stitch. If time allows, you can expect a few extra special secret stitches that will stun and delight!
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refresh your skills, this workshop offers a relaxed, supportive environment to explore the beautiful art of embroidery.
