Master embroiderer and fine artist, Rebecca Ringuist, shares 31 days of stitches in our first ever Daily Embroidery Challenge. Using her “Drawing Stitches” sampler as a basis, Rebecca’s embroidery style is vibrant, original, and simple enough for all skill levels to follow along. You’ll start with basic stitches, then move on to groups of stitches that create textural effects, like confetti, fancy chains, zigzags, flowers, and filling stitches. Each day, you’ll expand your knowledge of embroidery and build on techniques to combine elements that look complex but are easy to execute. Best of all, at the end of the month not only will you have learned loads of new techniques, but you’ll also have a finished sampler!
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Sharp scissors
  • Woven fabric or printed “Drawing Stitches” sampler – available here
  • Embroidery needles
  • Milliner's needles
  • Dull tapestry needles
  • Embroidery floss and Size 8 Perle cotton in colors of your choice
  • Embroidery hoop (Rebecca uses a size 6")
  • Thimble or rubber fingertip(s)
  • Twill tape, for wrapping inner hoop
  • Marking tool (Rebecca uses Mark-B-Gone marker, Pencil or Frixion Pen)

I have never embroidered before and this class has been so fun and easy! Each video has clear directions and were easy to learn and follow. I’m so glad I stumbled on to this series! Learning to embroider has been one of the funnest and most zen/relaxing things I’ve ever done. I’ve started using in nightly to relax and unwind from my crazy stressful days. I appreciate Rebecca’s calm voice and easy instructions, as well as her tips and many many examples of how to use the stitches in embroidery artwork.

I really enjoyed this class. This is my very first on-line class, and I will take more classes from Rebecca; the advanced class and the embroidery heart class will be my next classes. I enjoy the no-pressure attitude Rebecca has, and she has made learning fun for me. I would like to be better at knowing which embroidery threads to use and how many strands of threads to use when using embroidery floss. Thank you for offering this class.
