Class: Embroidery on Knits (7/12)

Sunday July 12th, 12pm-3pm. Reservation required. Join instructor Nichole Heady in learning the embellishment concepts from the popular "Embroidery on Knits" book by Judit Gummlich. Get hands on experience with the basics and techniques you need to embellish your own knitted or crocheted projects with woolen embroidery. This is your chance to make something handmade even more unique and personal. And it is SO much easier than you think! Just bring either a piece of knitting or knitwear you’d love to embellish, or knit swatches to practice with. It's recommended that swatches measure at least 6-inches square if not larger. We will have copies of Judit’s book, “Embroidery on Knits” in stock if you would like to take one home for even more templates and inspiration. What you will learn: Transferring the embroidery templates onto Stick & Stitch Tips for ideal placement of stick & stitch on knitwear Initially attaching yarn Basic embroidery stitches such as chain, daisy and french knot Finishing details This class is designed for Adult Knitters/Crocheters ready for Beginner Level embroidery. Before class: If you would like to knit a new project specifically for this class, here are some great suggestions.
