Class Schedule
Needlework classes at Cross Stitch Plus provide a fun way to learn a new skill while getting together with other cross-stitch enthusiasts. Class sizes are limited so sign up early. All classes are taught in the evening at the store. Some knowledge of counted cross stitch is expected for all classes. In some cases, experience with linen-weave fabric is also recommended.
Unless otherwise noted, classes are limited to adult stitchers.
We must receive your payment at the time of registration to hold your space. If you have to cancel, your payment will be refunded as long as you notify us at least 48 hours in advance. Please do not ask us to move you to another class nor refund your payment unless we have 48 hours notification that you can not attend a class.

Cross Stitch Tips & Tricks -- $15.00 (includes materials)
Monday, Jan 25 (6:30 - 9:15)
This is a discussion class with some "hands on". Learn about different fabrics (including linens) and fibers. Practice stitching on linen with metallics and beads. We'll talk about how to determine your fabric size, where to start your stitching, how to keep a neater back, and how to wash your completed project. We'll also discuss some of the "gadgets" available to make your stitching easier. If you'd like, bring a piece that you are working on for "show & tell".
Introduction to Hardanger -- $15.00 (includes materials)
Tuesday, Feb 23 (6:30 - 9:00)
Sunday, Feb 28 (1:00 - 3:30)
You'll find that Hardanger is not as "hard" as you might think. We will stitch a little heart to teach you things like kloster blocks, cutting, woven bars, and dove's eyes. We will be using 25-count fabric. Experience stitching on linen-weave fabrics is required.
... and don't forget the "Finishing Technique of the Month" Projects
Second Tuesday each month (6:30 - 9:00)
$5.00 + materials
Each month during 2010 we will learn a new finishing technique for your small cross stitch projects. Click here for more information.
15-Sided Biscornu (stitching only) -- $39.80 (for kit)
2 Tuesdays, March 23 & 30 (6:30 - 9:00)
In this class we will meet to do the stitching on the "Sweetheart Roses" biscornu from Victoria Sampler. This is a beautiful 15-sided biscornu. Five of the sides feature hardanger (which we will teach you). We will be using 25-count fabric. Experience stitching on linen-weave fabrics is required.
On Tuesday, April 13 (as part of our "Finishing Technique of the Month") we will do the construction of this 15-sided biscornu.
Butterfly Lace
We don't have the dates set yet, but we are planning to teach Victoria Sampler's Butterfly Lace as our Summer Project Class. This design is about 5" x 5". It features hardanger, drawn thread, pulled thread, stumpwork and ribbon embroidery.
We will prpbably meet on several Tuesday evenings this summer.
