Introduction to Needlepoint
We welcome students who are new to needlepoint to this class. It is also open to those of you who are looking to get back into needlepoint.
You'll learn the basics: threading a needle, starting and ending threads, basketweave, and one or two other simple stitches as time permits. We request that your canvas is something fairly simple - uncomplicated design, no shading, a limited number of colors, no larger than 12 X 12", and preferably 13 mesh. If you don't have one, we can help you select one.
Class fee includes instruction, needles, scissors, and threader. And, as with all of our classes, purchases for the class receive a 10% discount.
