Get ready for a frightfully fun stitching adventure with our Halloween-themed embroidery course!

In this spooktacular class, you'll not only master the art of creating your very own basic embroidery hoop designs but also do so with a creepy twist.

As you delve into the world of embroidery, we'll show you four popular threading techniques that will send shivers down your spine. Examples will be provided and demonstrated in the threading styles of running stitch, back stitch, satin stitch, and chain stitch. You'll practice your stitching skills on muslin and leave with the beginnings of your very first hoop creation. You'll also gain a comprehensive understanding of how to continue your embroidery journey beyond this ghostly gathering.

This class is hands-on with all materials included and ready to go. Supplies include: muslin to practice with, muslin with an iron-on design to learn from, five thread colors, an embroidery needle, an embroidery hoop, and a printout with tips and tricks.
