Over the course of a four-part program, 16 enthusiastic participants attended a beginner's embroidery class designed to introduce them to the art of embroidery. The program was structured to meet twice a month, offering consistent, hands-on learning at the same day and time, fostering a sense of routine and community among attendees.

The curriculum, delivered through a detailed PowerPoint presentation, introduced participants to nine fundamental embroidery stitches. Visual aids, including pictures and videos, were integrated to enhance comprehension and ensure all learning styles were accommodated. The combination of visual demonstrations and practical application empowered participants to confidently try the stitches on their own. The participants even got to pick their own design and trace it onto the embroidery fabric.

By the end of the program, attendees gained not only foundational embroidery skills but also a sense of creative accomplishment. Many expressed enthusiasm about continuing to explore embroidery, signaling that this introductory course successfully sparked a long-term interest in the craft. The communal setting also facilitated connections, creating a supportive environment for sharing ideas and techniques.

Overall, this beginner’s embroidery class provided a valuable creative outlet for participants and effectively laid the groundwork for further skill development in the craft.
