This workshop starts with the very basics of embroidery – setting up a hoop and threading needles – and dives into a visual encyclopedia of the most common stitches. Rebecca Ringquist teaches straight stitches before moving onto decorative and knotted stitches, including the elusive French knot.

Finally!!!! I can do it!! I was able to easily do every one of the stitches. I highly recommend getting the printed sampler and using it to follow along. It has taken me a week or so+ b/c I only work on 1-2 stitches a day and practice them before moving on. I have tried to learn embroidery from a book, but it was so hard for me. Rebecca is a lovely teacher. Her pace is perfect. I'm so excited! Loved seeing other examples from Rebecca's work.
