| Beginning Threadpainting |
Terry's Classes My classes require that each student
have a sewing machine that is in good working order. Each student
should be familiar with her machine and have a good relationship with it.
If there are problems with the machine at home, there will be problems
with it in class.Sewing machines should be clean. In the case of the
threadpainting classes, the machines need to have the capability of
dropping or covering the feed teeth.
Please be sure to bring everything the supply list states. The supply list
for each class is on this website, so each student can simply print it off
for herself. If there are questions about the supplies, please don't
hesitate to contact me.
Besides the class sample, I bring to class lots of other things to show
and tell. We do have fun in my classes, but my main focus is on the
students and making sure that they learn as much as they want to.
3 day workshops are available.
Advanced Threadpainting If you are a group interested in a 3
day workshop of advanced threadpainting techniques, contact me.
There will be preparation work required. The student will work with
images of her own choice and each will develop her own stitch
techniques that suit the design of the work and style of the student.
Class is limited to 10.
Personal Effects If you are a group interested in a 3 day
workshop of embellishment design and techniques, contact me. There
will be preparation work required. The student will work with a series of
images ( her own or mine) to create a design which will be enhanced by
embellishment techniques and ornaments.
Terry may be contacted by email or by phone (812-962-0800) to set up
