Embroidering Text
A name on a Christmas stocking, an initial on a handkerchief, a message in a fabric journal? There are lots of reasons to add text to your projects and lots of ways to do it. We will use your handwriting for a start. Practice small block letters. Skinny letters and chunkier ones.
Balanced spacing and straight lines are two tricks that add polish.
This is not a project class. We will work on techniques you can use in many ways. Do think of a couple of words with four to six letters you may want to play with.
Supplies:
- You may use supplies you have, or supplies will be available the day of class with a 10% discount.
- 10" to 12" square of fabric. Solid color or muted print. Quilter's cotton, muslin, or linen are good choices. This is for a sample. It should not be something precious.
- A hoop sized for your fabric
- A removeable pen or pencil designed for use on fabric. I like water or air erase.
- Needles: Recommend a Chenille #22 or #24
- Thread: Size 8 and 12 Pearl Cotton, 6-strand cotton embroidery thread. Colors should contrast with your fabric
- A small, clear ruler. I like a 1 x 6"
- A stitch dictionary
Feel free to bring a sack lunch or snack to energize you through this class. We will provide coffee, tea, and bottled water.
