Students then work through the first part of the foundational stitch family — ribbon stitch, straight stitch, Japanese ribbon stitch, and loop stitch — on an artwork designed by Nadia, conceived as a progressive technique collector. Attention throughout to tension control, needle choice, and fabric grain. Beginners build confidence; intermediate students refine their hand and explore stitch variations. In the second session, participants are introduced to more complex vocabulary: folded and gathered roses, the spider web rose, ruching, French and colonial knots in ribbon, and dimensional leaf work. Students conclude by completing a personal stitch sampler — a lasting reference tool for future projects.\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Provided in Your Workshop Pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRibbons\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNeedles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNadia's printed artwork\/sampler on a cotton base\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Materials to Bring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbroidery hoop: 25cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp embroidery scissors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-soluble pen or chalk marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle threader (optional but recommended for beginners)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread to match ribbons for anchoring\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorkshop Level: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis course offers a thorough grounding in ribbon embroidery techniques, accessible to beginners while providing depth for more experienced embroiderers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/strong\u003eMaterial packs are shipped on an insured, trackable delivery service.
