In this comprehensive workshop Kathleen takes you through how to transfer your design onto your fabric; shows you how to load this into your embroidery hoop correctly; and then talks you through the order of sewing – a little like Applique you need to now which bits go on first.

You also get to learn about the threads Kathleen likes to use;  there is a great tip on how to cope with the points on the design; how to finish off; the order of stitching and tips on how to use metallic threads and finally why Kathleen likes to use acrylic paint instead of leather!
