Learn the
traditional wheat stitch and a unique version of this stitch,
called the "speedy wheat stitch"
by the teacher.
Eleven other
variations of the speedy wheat stitch will also be taught. The
teacher will explain each stitch or variation, show a sample of
the stitch, and demonstrate
how to stitch it. The student will
practice the stitch on their pleated fabric. Various threads
will be used-- enclosed in the kit-- including DMC floss, perle
cotton, ribbon floss, and perle crown rayon. The stitched piece
will be made into an adorable pincushion! |
