Two strands are better than one—an easy way to add magic to your embroidery!

I am so excited to tell you about this new class that I created for Creative Spark. In the class, I explore the subtle and innovative differences that can be created by working with two threads in the needle. The “two-thread” technique will not only add more color and dimension to the stitch but will often make a unique shape.

The beauty of embroidery is that you need very little to begin with, and no specialized tools! Just a piece of cloth, some good needles, I suggest Colonial Needles, and some threads like Perle Finca, in a variety of weights. Don’t forget a good pair of scissors, your pincushion, and a good light source.

I will demonstrate 18 embroidery stitches, first with the stitched worked in a single thread, then each stitch worked with the “two-thread technique. I think that you’ll be delighted to see the difference made when working with two strands using stitches you may already have in your repertoire as they transform into a completely different-looking element.

Beginning embroidery enthusiasts will delight in the variety they can give their work, while intermediate stitches will enjoy a new twist for their time-honored skills. Discover how combining a variety of thread weights results in unique colorways and exciting dimension.
