Colorful Hand Embroidery: Make Your Statement

“Congrats! You have reached the end of the course. Thank you so much for joining me in this stitch adventure. I hope you now feel inspired to create whatever your imagination provides you with your brand-new techniques. Before saying goodbye, I'd like to do a quick recap on the steps I suggest you follow on your final project. Get inspired and learn how to create a design to embroider, then assign color and texture to your plan to transform it into an embroidery pattern.

Prepare your space by gathering the materials, learning beginner embroidery techniques, and transferring the pattern. Then, make sure to learn and practice the stitches used in each lesson before stitching the final project. Start stitching the base of the pattern using filler stitches, then move on to padding the text in the center. Finally, sew the lines across the pattern with the outline stitches before adding stumpwork details to the final project.
Once the embroidery is complete, back your hoop with fabric, add extra details (hoop wrapping), and display the final project before taking pictures and sharing.
My final piece of advice is to engage in the forum conversations since I'll be there for you as much as I can, but also it is a fabulous opportunity to make some new friends all around the world that are passionate about the same things you are. See you there! ”
