Intermediate Embroidery: April Showers, May Flowers
We're skipping the showers part and going straight for the florals in this intermediate embroidery class.
Participants will learn five popular embroidery styles, running stitch, back stitch, satin stitch, chain stitch and the french knot, through examples and demonstrations. Take your embroidery to the next level with creative techniques to make a one-of-a-kind flower and learn ways to add custom additions to your designs. While this is an introduction to embroidery, the image will need a lot of detail and take longer to complete.
This class is hands-on with all materials included and ready to go. Supplies can be mailed outside of Chattanooga or dropped off if local to the Chattanooga area. Supplies include: muslin to practice with, a tea towel with an iron-on floral design, six thread colors, an embroidery needle, and an embroidery hoop.
Please note: The Chattery will email for your address (to send supplies) upon purchasing a ticket. Ticket sales end on Monday, April 5 at 1pm ET.
