One Day Workshop – Mastering The Satin Stitch
The best filling stitch finally under your control.
If satin stitch has ever left you frustrated with wobbly edges, pulled threads, or circles that refuse to look like circles, this workshop is for you. Satin stitch is the foundation of so many Eastern European folk embroidery styles, and once you have it, a whole world of beautiful, expressive designs opens up to you.
In one focused day, Kasia will give you the tools, techniques and practice to turn satin stitch from your nemesis into one of your favourites.
What you’ll learn:
how to set up guidelines for accurate, consistent stitch placement;
how to rescue rogue strands and fix pulled threads without unpicking everything;
how to achieve smooth(er) edges and round(er) circles;
how to choose between a precise refined look and a looser more expressive folk style;
how different threads (stranded cotton, perle and wool) create completely different effects.
You'll leave with real confidence to stitch folk embroidery designs going forward. Kasia will also have a selection of appropriate patterns available for purchase on the day.
What’s included:
All patterns, needles, hoops and a selection of threads in Kasia’s eleven signature colours.
What to bring:
You are welcome to bring your own threads if you have some.
Who this workshop is for:
Beginners welcome but a little bit of previous embroidery experience is helpful.
Morning tea and lunch will be served
