Learn it...

If you've ever wondered what all those decorative stitches on your sewing machine really look like, and what on earth to do with them, this is the course for you! Stupendous Stitching will show you how to incorporate all kinds of stitches into a work of art. Or take what you learn in this class and embellish clothing or make your own fashion accessories.

In this 11-lesson course, you will use thread couching, decorative machine stitching, hand embroidery and quilting to make an original wall hanging. You'll finish the wall hanging with a unique satin cord rattail binding, and mount it on a wood frame for a perfect presentation.

You will also create your personal Stitch Bible, a handy permanent reference for future sewing projects. You will discover that you actually have many times the number of stitches you think you have on your machine, because you can change the look of each standard stitch by modifying how long or wide it is.

Sign up today for Stupendous Stitching.Have fun with all kinds of threads and stitches as award-winning instructor Carol Ann Waugh shares her love of stitching and color!

She wrote three books on quilting, pursued a left-brain career, then wrote a book of quilt block patterns about the First Ladies of America. Now she's come back to her love of stitching and has entered more than 45 national and international exhibits in the past 4 years. Her latest book, Stupendous Stitching, was published in early 2012.

Carol did a wonderful job. Her instructions were clear. She showed good examples and nonexamples. She was very accessible. I never felt intimidated. And her techniques are applicable to many other other types of sewing ventures. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Great Class  May 16, 2012

Thanks Carol - this was a fun project and I really learned some "good stuff". This is a great way to really learn your sewing machine if you have not experimented with the decorative stitches before. Even though I had used my decorative stitches a lot, I learned some tips that made things much easier. I will use what I learned in this class again and again.

This class is very well done, and the freedom to take Carol's ideas wherever I wanted was so much fun! It was like a vacation for my sewing mind--I could work on the big picture without obsessing over the little details. I'll definitely start another project. I particularly enjoyed the balance between machine and hand sewing. I had not previously done much machine decorative stitching, or hand embroidery. A great experience!

I really enjoy the extra added tips to these projects. Carol provides lots of "look fors" and extras that I didn't even think about.

I especially enjoy the feedback and the conversation from others who are ahead of me in the class. It is like using all of their expertise. :)

This type of art is entirely out of my comfort zone, but I have enjoyed the class. Got a lot of ideas for some of my own art quilts--how to put texture into a piece--any class I have taken has taught me something.

Excellent Thank You  May 15, 2012

This class has been just great. I learned all about my sewing machine and now I have a way to use all those stitches I paid for.
Carol was very informative and set things out clearly.
Everyone really liked my piece. I just use it as a wall hanging but I plan to use this stitching a lot more.
Thanks for presenting this class.
