Description

Are your beautiful embroideries languishing in a drawer awaiting a trip to the finisher? Finishing the embroidery yourself gives you complete control over the end product and could be less expensive than using professional finishing services. In Thank Goodness It’s Finished, teacher Kim Sanders teaches a variety of skills needed to assemble embroideries into their final form. Following evaluation, Certificates of Completion will be awarded for finishing the scissors tassel, small drawstring bag, pincushion and either the stitched box or tote bag (both may be submitted). Only the tote bag requires use of a sewing machine.

Although students are encouraged to use their existing embroideries for this GCC, they may construct the course items from unembroidered fabric. Patterns for the pictured sample pieces and brief embroidery instructions are also provided in the text. However, the focus of this GCC is on finishing techniques, so no embroidery is required for a Certificate of Completion.

Thank Goodness It’s Finished text is thoroughly illustrated with clear drawings as well as written directions. Once the student has finished the items in the course, the same techniques can be applied to similar items. For example the student will be able to construct a full-sized pillow using the techniques learned when making the pin cushion.
