A Brief Dictionary of Stitches

If you’re curious about embroidery then this beginners course will be ideal for you! It’s a lovely occasion to relax and enjoy moments of creativity, inspiration and craft. What better way to spend your time! This is Rebecca’s favourite embroidery course to teach and now it’s available as a self-guided online course! She had the pleasure of filming almost five hours of video tutorials at the charming Au Ver à Soie studio in Paris.

The course begins with a presentation on the fascinating history of embroidery samplers and how they were used in both education and seduction! Then in each session you will learn new stitches, with fantastic close-ups, creating your own sampler, at your own leisurely pace. Throughout the course, I share tips and tricks on how to make embroidery an easy, pleasant, and more artistic craft.

You will learn how to set-up an embroidery frame, thread a needle with ease, tie knots and of course, the basic embroidery stitches, sixteen of them in total (straight, back, stem, couching, blanket, fly, feather, chain, daisy chain, french knots, bullion knots, herringbone, stars, seeding, long and short, satin and diagonal satin stitch).
