Class Number: 103 Teacher: Marion Scoular Class: Arm Chair Finishes
Three techniques for finishing embroidered items will be covered in six hours, none involving a table, only a lap. No sewing machine! The corded edge (outline stitch) can be used for needlepoint, counted embroidery, and crewel. Quick and inexpensive, the effect is very professional and makes a 90° bend in needlepoint possible. Knife edged pincushion (blanket stitch) is an attractive hand-finish for counted thread projects. Ilse's Picot Edge (buttonhole stitch and pulled stitches) is an elegant edge for hangings, placemats, and napkins. This is ideal for the sides of a chatelaine. Doodles may be stitched which will be notebook references so that the student may apply the ideas to projects that are in need of finishing. All necessary materials will be provided.
Bring: Usual Stitching Supplies
Proficiency Level: All
Lab Fee: $18.00
