A great time was had at the monograming workshop, but it’s time to grow our skills further and look at the satin stitch. Satin stitches are like very dense zigzag stitches and are great for outlines, forming letters, and just generally being lines. We’re going to learn how to draw them automatically, how to create custom satins by hand, look at how to manage their overlaps, and eventually embroider our creations onto fabric!
If you’re not familiar with ink/stitch or embroidery machines, have no fear, we’re hear to teach you. Before the workshop you should install inkscape, if possible ink/stitch, and have a think about what you might like to embroider. Think simple drawings and shapes, and if you already have the file as an .svg, you’re away to a good start (if you don’t know what .svgs are, don’t fret, we’ll get into that on the day).
All materials will be provided, you’ll just need to bring your laptop. Tickets cost €10 and can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/further-adventures-in-inkstitch-satin-stitch-tickets-2004198473586?aff=oddtdtcreator
Please note, use of LLMs and other genAI is not permitted during this workshop. If you’re not confident in your design skills, don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to make great looking embroideries from simple pieces.
