Learning Embroidery?
So you want to learn embroidery, but are overwhelmed by all the information out there. I took some of the questions I ask my students when they are deciding what to learn first and put them into a quiz to rank four of the basic embroidery styles and suggest which one you should start with. Unfortunately I can’t plug the quiz in here, but you can find it here:
What Embroidery Style Should I Learn?
I don’t get any results back from this, but I’d love to know what your results are! Feel free to post in the comments. I got “freestyle” which is funny, since I started with and design cross stitch and crewel designs before I expanded out. But I guess we all change over time!
If you know how to create a quiz I can post IN my blog – please give me a heads up. My google-fu is failing mightily on this subject! And I’d rather not make you all click more than necessary!

I got “crewel” – which is odd, as I would say I was a “freestyle” embroiderer.. Although I do like crewel work.

I got Needlepoint–I was die-hard cross-stitcher for the longest time and absolutely refuse to get rid of my pattern books and magazines (despite not having touched them for years.

Hi Scraps!
I’m laughing out loud at this one! I don’t have time to stitch much of anything I don’t design myself these days… but I’ve got a wall of magazines and several binders of chartpacks… all of patterns I still “want to do” one day. Stash Accrual Beyond Life Expectancy (SABLE) indeed!
