elizabeth_mnI have a beginning embroidery class coming up, and I am stitching displays to hang in the store for promoting the class.
Still damp from blocking but you get the idea.
Stitches from top to bottom: running, wrapped running, stem, chain, back, herringbone, cross, feather, split, couching, laid filling, satin, long and short, french knots, speckling. It seems like a lot to cover, but theirs will be much smaller, and those linear stitches go pretty quickly.
I am planning a second display. One thing I have learned is that people really respond to color more than anything else, so I am making the next one in modern brights.
I also plan to display it in the hoop because that is still so hip these days.
