CLASSES – PADDED STITCH INITIALS
How to give a three-dimensional effect to initials and monograms, following the thread of tradition, towards a personal style
Program
From theory to practice, with the purpose of learning the technique and using the appropriate materials. I’ll present traditional techniques and personal variations, reporting sources for drawings and inspiration, with a focus on the use of monograms in traditional and modern needleworks.
Technical goals, through a sampler of elements:
- how to start and finish thread on a frame;
- work preparation – variants;
- the importance of the preparation planning;
- the embroidered padding and its limitis;
- padding with threads (management of threads, tips, change of thread, …);
- overlaps;
- flat and padded dots;
- my method.
