Couture Techniques: Embroidery

Taught by Gaby who is a graduate from The Royal School of Needlework, Hampton Court Palace in 2012 with a degree from the University for Creative Arts in Technical Hand Embroidery. You will learn how to embellish fabric with beads. Techniques covered include: running stitch, split stitch, chain stitch, back stitch, petite point, French knots and the very versatile appliqué (applying fabric on fabric). In this course you will cut your collar from a simple pattern, stretch your fabric in an embroidery hoop and once finished you will sew it together. You can then take your knowledge and be able to embellish your pillowcases, t-shirts and even linen. This course will take you from being a complete beginner to a competent and confident stitcher.
