My wife is an embroidery designer, and I'm a graphic designer. We're looking to build a collaborative team and find a professional embroidery teacher. We chose Santo Cielo's course because his teaching style is truly unique. We've already learned so much from him, and he helps us transform our project work into something magical.

For our embroidery projects, we rely on a core set of tools and materials that are fundamental to bringing our designs to life. Just as a graphic designer uses a pen and pencil to sketch initial concepts, we begin with a high-quality fabric that serves as our canvas.

The true artistry comes from our diverse selection of threads, which we use to add color, texture, and intricate detail to each piece. Precision is key, so a sharp pair of scissors is always on hand for clean cuts. To ensure our stitches are perfectly even and our fabric remains taut, we consistently use an embroidery hoop. Beyond these basics, we also incorporate many more specialized tools that allow us to explore various techniques and achieve the unique effects that make our work stand out. Each tool plays a vital role in transforming raw materials into the magical, finished pieces our clients love.

We were previously doing the work on our own, but for our latest project, we truly needed a professional expert. We sought out a teacher and discovered Santo Cielo's course on Domestika. As we applied what we learned, the project transformed beautifully. Now, both we and our clients are thrilled, and our work is becoming renowned globally.
