Americana Cross-Stitch with Ardith Design

a FREE webcast with Sulky!

Join us on May 11, 2021 at 2pm ET for a FREE Americana Cross-Stitch webcast with Amanda Mae MacNaughton of Ardith Design. Amanda will take us through a beautiful patriotic-themed cross-stitch design, perfect for Memorial Day, July 4 or any day of the year!

WEBCAST DETAILS

During the webcast, Amanda will go over the basics of cross-stitch if you’ve never tried it before or need a refresher. This fun pastime is trending, with fun embellishments and finishing techniques to learn!

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• How to use Sulky Cotton Petites Thread for handwork
  • One strand of this thread equals two strands of traditional embroidery floss. It’s easier to use and much easier to store, as the thread end is neatly contained in the snap end of the spool!
• Blend textured thread into designs for dimension & interest
  • Amanda will show you how to incorporate textured Filaine thread into the design to act as the bison’s fur. She also adds metallic thread into the design for sparkle and shine! Yes, you can use these threads for handwork! And Amanda will show you how!
• Brush up on cross-stitch techniques
  • If you haven’t done cross-stitch in a while, you’ll love Amanda’s refresher. And if you’re a complete newbie, you’ll grasp the stitches very quickly and be on your way to stitching success.
• Hand embroidery stitches for finishing & embellishments
  • Add details with a few hand embroidery stitches. Or create your design entirely in hand embroidery – it’s your choice!
• Inspiration for displaying the finished piece several ways
  • Hand the finished piece on a fun hanger, as pictured. Or create festive home décor and gifts to celebrate your love of the USA!
