Needlepoint 102 : Beyond the Basics

Needlepoint 102: Beyond the Basics | December 10 5-7pm

Picture this: you’ve learned the basic tent stitch and now you’re ready for more but don't know where to start. In Needlepoint 102, we’ll build on those fundamentals and start making your canvas come alive!

Marcia will help you work through a collection of simple decorative stitches that add texture, dimension, and interest to your piece. You’ll learn how to change colors cleanly, how to move around your canvas with a plan so your stitching stays tidy and efficient, and how to make confident choices about which stitch belongs where.

You’ll work at your own pace on a project you love, with plenty of individual guidance along the way.

What you’ll learn:

• Simple decorative stitches for texture and variety
• Starting, stopping, and changing thread colors
• Planning your path across the canvas
• Choosing stitches to suit different areas of your design

What to bring:

• A canvas of your choice (we’ll help you select stitches that suit it)
• Your needlepoint basics: needles, scissors, and threads for your project

Prerequisite: Needlepoint 101 or some basic experience with tent stitch.
