Techniques for Canvas Embroidery
An in-depth study of the various techniques used in canvas embroidery
Our Techniques for Canvas Embroidery Individual Correspondence Course is an in-depth study of the various techniques used in canvas embroidery. Each lesson focuses on particular techniques that students will practice in order to learn and improve. The final course project will allow the student to apply what they have learned in a single piece. The stitched samples required in each lesson will be of a small enough dimension so that they can be completed within a reasonable length of time (2 months for each lesson).

“I really wanted to learn proper techniques as I am self-taught. I now understand Continental stitch as never before. This course is a great snapshot of techniques one will need to master if one pursues Master Craftsman in Canvas – I learned appliqué, diaper pattern, and bargello, all needed for the MC program.” – Susan Mondabaugh, Student
