Kathleen takes you through all the steps needed to create this lovely design.

In this comprehensive workshop, Kathleen shows how to transfer your design onto your fabric and how to load this into your embroidery hoop correctly. She talks you through the order of sewing. A little like applique, you need to know 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 and how to finish off. And tips on how to use metallic threads. And finally, why Kathleen likes to use acrylic paint instead of leather!
