Registration is now open for our online class Freestyle Hoop Embroidery with J. Marsha Michler!
Create a geometric design within a six-inch hoop using many different embroidery stitches. Create outlines- eight different outlining options are presented- and add rows of decorative stitches to them.
Working from a stitch reference, use the embroidery stitches of your choice. Feel free to learn new ones! Build a repertoire of stitches by working each row in a different one. (The sample shows sixteen different decorative embroidery stitches plus each of the eight outlining options). Watch the pattern form as you work; it will emerge on its own. There is nothing to transfer. Relax and enjoy as the design practically forms itself.
You may wish to use this project as a stitch sampler- an opportunity to learn new stitches, or to observe the interesting patterns formed as stitches are brought together, and/or to explore color relationships. Whatever your objective, freestyle embroidery is easy to do. Prepare to be addicted!
Registration closes on August 3. The PDF Lessons for the class will be posted to the class page weekly starting October 5.
