About this Event
Join Nikki Kintner, a local textile artist and owner of Stitch & Petal, for this Beginner’s Modern Hand-Embroidery Course. Over five weeks and through three different projects, students will become familiar with embroidery tools, learn to set and finish hoops, and master four of the most-used stitches in modern hand-embroidery. The projects include a stitch sampler, a floral fabric outline piece and a pattern designed by Nikki. Each project will be started in class, but then students will continue their embroidery at home in between classes. After completing this course students will be able to confidently complete any beginner hand-embroidery patterns!
