Tony Minieri "Back to Basics 1" Needlepoint Retreat
Sign up for this class and immerse yourself in a luxury needlework retreat in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the first class of the Back to Basics The Right Way series, Tony shows the student the correct way of stitching to improve needlepoint techniques. Included in the session are a discussion of essential tools, easy and proper ways to thread a needle, beginning and ending threads, how to mount the canvas on the stretcher bars (and why to use them), compensation and other techniques. Stitches covered include diagonal stitches, line stitches, crossed stitches, tied stitches, and plaited stitches. Other stitching includes filling patterns, knots, Bokhara couching, canvas appliqué, and traditional canvas appliqué slip. As always, Tony's Tenets are an integral part of the class.
