Embroidered Ornaments

Why stick with store-bought decorations? Your home deserves a decorative touch that’s totally you! Try embroidering your own ornament (we promise it’s not scary). In our beginner-friendly class we’ll give you a rundown on the basics of this classic craft.

In under two hours, you’ll learn:

• how to prep your embroidery hoop for holiday magic
• how to works with embroidery patterns
• the basics of selecting the perfect thread
• how to start and end your embroidered ornament
• how to create essential embroidery stitches, such as the running stitch, backstitch, and satin stitch

Please note that instructions will last approximately 1.5 hours and then there will be 30 minutes for Q&A as well as practice. Throughout this workshop we encourage you to get to know your fellow Jammers. This class is beginner-friendly; no experience necessary!

While using Zoom we strongly recommend video participation. Unlike traditional webinars, we’re keeping our classes small and intimate.
