Explore the beauty and versatility of chain stitches in this hands-on class! In this session, you’ll learn several different types of chain stitches and how they can be used to add texture, movement, and detail to your projects. We’ll work with a variety of thread weights so you can see how each stitch looks and behaves with varying types. 

This class is focused on learning and practicing techniques, giving you the confidence to incorporate chain stitches into embroidery, cross stitch, and other creative projects. You’ll leave with a better understanding of stitch variations, thread choices, and how to use them to create unique designs.
