Exploring Drawn Thread
Stitch it as it is or make it your own!
Jane Ellen Balzuweit is treating us to something extra special with this course: Instead of a set project, she is giving you the opportunity to stitch it as it is or make it your own by changing stitches and the level of complexity.
The sampler includes two drawn-thread bands with twisting threads; four bands of drawn thread that can be manipulated into interesting patterns; two Old Hedebo squares; two Russian ground squares; two Hardanger motifs (one modern and one traditional); and two Myreshka Ukrainian embroidery bands.

What are Virtual Education Courses?
Virtual Education Courses are EGA’s new interactive offerings. By staying in the comfort of your own home, you won’t have to deal with airline issues, nor pay for a hotel. And even though you’re not in a classroom together, you will still enjoy the companionship of stitching with other like-minded members.
