Description
Get to know your teacher Elena Ciarrocchi as she tells you about her creative journey through the world of embroidery. She also shares the artists and artwork that inspire her own creations.
Begin with an introduction to goldwork embroidery and learn the basic techniques. Go over the materials you need for the final project and how to use them.
Now it's time to work on your sacred heart. Prepare the hoop and a black felt background for your design and start embroidering. Then get to the heart of the matter by inserting padding and stitching the primary features of your design.
Learn how to use the gold stitching technique to embroider a line or fill in a surface before seeing how to go back over it with colored cotton thread instead of golden thread.
Finally, discover how to embroider with French wire and add the finishing touches to give your piece a personal touch. Once your composition is ready, Elena shows how to turn it into a pin or an appliqué for clothing and accessories.
