Selecting Decorative Stitches Class with Saturnalia Stitching
Do you always have trouble picking a background stitch? Are you struggling to find decorative stitches that complement each other? Selecting Decorative Stitches is a class meant to take away some of the ambiguity when it comes to picking decorative stitches.
For the first hour of the class, Abbey Schuetze of Saturnalia Stitching will teach you how to really see an unstitched canvas before you make a stitching game plan. She will discuss principles of design from both the perspective of the designer and the stitcher.
Then, for the second hour of the class, Abbey will also review a canvas of choice from each stitcher, providing guidance on stitch selections.
The class kit includes a great workbook on selecting stitches, a fun Saturnalia Stitching needle minder, and a $50 voucher towards a stitch book of your choice from our in-stock selections.
Saturday 9/6 at 10:30 am or 1pm, 2 hours, $125 per person
