Level: Beginning Class Type: Hands-on Category: Applique Machine(s): Not required
Welcome to this wool applique class!!! This class teaches a few applique techniques and a couple of starter decorative embroidery stitches to create a vibrant wool coaster.
There are four separate design kits offered. Each kit has the materials required to create an individual wool coaster. Each kit includes a backing, a primary wool background, some pre-cut pieces ready to be attached to the background, hand sewing needles, and coordinating silk threads. To provide hands-on learning, one design piece is not pre-cut. This uncut piece will be used to demonstrate how to go from a pattern and wool in hand to pieces ready to assemble for the design.
Participants practice how to interpret a pattern and prepare the necessary pieces. Applique paper or freezer paper is included in the kit to trace the pattern piece.
Cotton floss, pearl cotton, and wool threads will be provided to participants for experimentation with a few decorative stitching techniques.
Kit/handout Fee: $15 (Paid to the teacher in the classroom). Kit includes: Small wool applique project with most pieces precut (one left to learn how to trace and cut); pattern; applique paper; (2) hand needles; Silk thread to match project; wool to practice embroidery stitches; cotton floss to practice stitching.
