If you enjoy embroidery, but want to learn more advanced stitches, how to use specialty flosses, or ways to make your work extra special, then The Embroidery Project: All in the Details is perfect for you!
Here's a brief overview of The Embroidery Project: All in the Details.
Basic embroidery, done well, can be beautiful on its own, but there are some simple details that can make it really stand out. This 5-week online class will teach techniques for using different supplies (traditional and non-traditional), as well as some more advanced stitches and how to make your finished piece shine. We'll use these techniques as we create 15 projects. Not only will you expand your embroidery skills, but you'll also find new ways to use your embroidery!

These projects are easy enough for beginners, and suitable for crafters of all ages. However, the class will not teach basic embroidery skills. You don't need to be an expert embroiderer, but you should already know some basic stitches. Might I recommend my free Embroidery Basics series?
The supplies that are required are primarily basic craft materials. You probably have quite a few of the items on hand, and the rest are low-cost. There are a few sewing projects, and a sewing machine is helpful, but not absolutely necessary.
All in the Details will be hosted on a private blog. Time zones are not an issue, so anyone, worldwide, can participate.
The cost of the class is $35, which works out to just over $2 per project, not even counting the techniques, embroidery patterns (yes, there will be a bunch!) tips from some very talented guests, and perhaps a bonus or two.
Class begins Monday, June 20. You can work at your own pace. And because five weeks isn't very long to get all of these projects finished (life is busy...and embroidery takes a bit of time), the class blog will still be available long after the class is finished.
Special thanks to DMC and their blog, DMC Threads for sponsoring this class!
Registration will start on Wednesday, June 1 at NOON CST and continue through the class. Register below, or in my Etsy shop. Once you register and pay, you'll receive an email within 48 hours that contains the private blog link and password. You'll be able to sign in, introduce yourself, see the supply lists, and download some exclusive embroidery patterns.
It's going to be so much fun, and I hope you join!
