Kit Contents

40 ct. Picadill Linen, 13 colors of Au Ver a Soie-Soie d’Alger in cut lengths, ornament finishing kit, backing silk, Japanese rice glue, glue applicator, wigjig delphi, silk cartisane gimp, silk facette gimp

Course Overview

I have wanted to explore how the silk passementerie fibers we have been making for stumpwork projects could be used to trim our counted work ornaments to give them a bit of pizzazz. This course will explore the use of silk cartisane and facette as edging in tandem with a more familiar use of soie d’alger to stitch a sampler design. The sampler design is worked in several counted stitches and so might be interesting to those who haven’t explored many counted stitches.

Course Flexibility

At Thistle Threads, we understand that lifes commitments can make it difficult to focus on a course every month. Thats why my courses are designed to be self-paced, allowing you to learn at your own rhythm. You can take breaks when needed, and the course material will remain available to you, often serving as a valuable reference for future projects once completed.

Course Access and Delivery

Upon the start date of the course, youll receive a username and password to access my teaching site on the Thinkific platform. Logging in will immediately give you access to the first lesson, ready for download. Course materials will primarily be provided in PDF format, but may also include additional resources like videos and stitch animations.

Once the course is completed, youll receive access to non-public YouTube playlists, where videos will be available for future reference and continued learning.

Access Timeframe

Course materials must be downloaded within three months of the course’s conclusion. During the course, all lessonsincluding new ones and previously released contentwill be accessible. So, if youre unable to log in during a month, you can always catch up by reviewing any missed lessons at your own pace.

Prerequisites

While there isn’t any particular requirements, experience with cross stitch is helpful. The most important need is a willingness to learn.
