Join instructor Traci Bula for two sessions of cross stitch FUN! In the first session you will learn to read a pattern, learn about the fabrics involved, how to choose the right needles and hoops for your pattern size and how to set the fabric in the hoop. You'll begin a project, learn how to count squares & threads, the stitches and valuable tips for avoiding the most common mistakes.
Session two will be spent learning more advanced techniques such as backstitching, blackwork, French knots 1/2 & 3/4 stitches, beading, embellishments and more! You'll learn how to wash, dry, iron and finish your project in a hoop or a frame!
Traci is a fierce animal advocate who is currently working toward becoming a registered veterinary nurse in the UK! She has been cross stitching for years and it is her absolute favorite hobby - maybe it'll become yours!!
