Add the *wow* factor to your hand-embroidery with the *Hug Stitch* by using thick chunky threads stitched by hand. This is made almost entirely on top of a previously machine-stitched line with bold wonderful results.

*Hand-Embroidered "Hug" stitch* is one of my new workshops that will debut at the International Quilt Festival this coming fall 2016 in Houston.

This workshop will be held on Thursday November 3rd. from 9 to noon.CLASS 447

Each student will create one of the butterflies from the picture shown above.

I hope you will join me. I would love to meet you. Let me know if you have any questions.
