Throughout each series of examples and projects, Alicia shares her best practices for stabilizing, hooping and stitching on these eight different and exceptional … but as you’ll see, extremely embroider-able surfaces. Explore what makes a design appropriate for your surface, and how to pair it up with the right needle for surefire success. Whether you want to make just one or all eight embroidery samples, you’ll be building your own practical approach for considering other surfaces for your embroidery projects – other non-traditional, not-your-average-fabric materials upon which you can place your embroidery.
Using phrases like “you can decide which of these works best for you” and “I’m giving you options to try out at home,” Alicia’s expert guidance — including clear examples of how things can go awry (like hooping when you shouldn’t, or using water soluble stabilizers on things that can’t get wet — helps you understand the "what and why" for every element you consider in your embroidery. The end result is wonderful! By the close of the course, you’ll have a framework from which you can approach new surface with confidence, ready to test your options to uncover the designs, stabilizers and needles that work best for your new project.
Included with the course are the embroidery designs used during the course (a $45 value)!
