Beschreibung
During this workshop we will discuss in detail several embroidery stitches that can be used on wool to embellish sweater or any of your knitted projects. By the end of this class you will not only have a beautiful small project that we work together, but also all the technical knowledge that you need to embroider your knits! Dario will guide you through all the steps to realize the stitches, give advice on wool embroidery, discuss how to draw a project on the stabilizer, and share tips and tricks in order to realize flawless embroidery without pain at all!
We will study the stitches the fun way: we will work straightaway on a small swatch together! This project includes some of the flat stitches, but it focuses more on 3D stitches like 3D flowers. 3D flowers can be used to create wonderful embroidery that pops out of your garment and can be worked on top of your accessories as well as garments. We will talk extensively about all of them, we will work them together and you will find schematics and instructions for all those stitches.
