Whenever Iām about to make a big decision, the most comforting thing is to speak with someone whoās been there.
Watch the recording of ourĀ Program Q&A CallĀ below to get answers to the most common questions, and reach out toĀ help@serendipityneedleworks.comĀ with any additional questions!
āI simply didnāt know how to get started.
There are many people out there who provide stitch guides, and Iām very good at doing what they say and what they do. But I like to be independent, and I wanted to be able to do it myself.
I never thought of myself as an artistā¦ but while taking the course, I realized that I knew more than I thought I did!
I now take the time to plan ahead with regard to shape, color, balance, form, texture, and perspective. It has made a world of difference, and it actually saves me time because if I plan ahead, I donāt have to frog.
It truly makes me feel that Iām actually a needlepoint artist. Iām not just someone whoās going through and following someone elseās directions. I can be an artist.
If you have a desire to improveā¦ take this class with Ellen. She will guide you all along the way. Take it from somebody whoās been stitching for years. Iām still learning, and I hope that I will keep learning. And you can too.ā
