i just finished my second one
How I did it: i took pictures i likes and traced them on to fabric bought a hoop embroidery needles and did as the book told me to it was really easy but really time consuming
Lessons & tips: do with music or TV in the background if not i promise you will go crazy it get monotonous
Resources: sublime stitching best book to get easy and tons of patterns plus tells you how to make your own pattern

i bought a book on how to do embroidery and have just finished their sample piece now i am going to try my own
i’m nearly finished with my first project. although i marked the goal as “worth it” i don’t think it is quite yet. it was really expensive (cost me nearly 100 dollars) but i’m hoping that when i advance to freestyle types or projects it will be much more rewarding.
i had my first embroidery class tuesday! i’m really glad i signed up for a class instead of just learning from the book i bought because i would have missed out on some tips the teacher gave that the book didn’t mention.
although i could check this goal as accomplished now i think i’ll wait until i finish my classes.
well i’ve read my beginner how to book and i signed myself up for some classes, so next tuesday i’ll start my first embroidery project. yay!
I’ve joined the Embroiderer’s Guild starting next February, can’t wait! I’m aiming to put somthing into their exhibition at the end of 2007
