Monogramming Online Class Part 1

You’ve been asking for it, and we have been listening. So here we have an online class series dedicated to the art of Monogramming! Even more excitingly as a thank-you for your seemingly endless support which we have been absolutely overwhelmed by over the past few months, the first part of this series will be free! It seemed only right that our first online class was free and you, our wonderful community have definitely earned yourselves another one.

Monogramming is a very technical area of embroidery and so for the first part, we will be taking it right back to basics and hopefully, taking away any complexity barrier that might stop you from getting started. During this complimentary class we will encourage you to start with things you are likely to already have at home. Therefore there are no kits required for this class or indeed the rest of the series, we will just make suggestions on how you can go about approaching this new way of working.

Things you will need:

Part 1 will start by working on chunky fabrics like towelling and knit, beginning with a simple back stitch approach to lettering and moving onto a characterful chain stitch monogram. We will talk you through how to form you lettering and apply your draft to your item for a clean finish. Once stitched, we will show you how to finish your pieces ready to be enjoyed.

Classes 2 and 3 of this series will build on your newly kindled interest in embroidered lettering, going into more classic styles as you build up skills. These will become available to purchase from the London Embroidery School Website on the two following Fridays. Although these classes are a series, each part will focus on a particular approach to lettering and so can also be enjoyed as a stand alone.

The only thing you need to decide now, is what you want to monogram on first?

When you have made your purchase, the link will be sent to your email and kits through the post. You can use the video as many times as you like, watch, rewatch, rewind and pause us as you please.
