4 Back to Basics Bad habits broken here The name says it all. In this notebook class, Tony will help you improve your stitching by taking you back to basics. You will learn new techniques and review those you may have forgotten stitching pathways, beginning and ending stitches, and much more. You will leave this class with increased confidence and skills to make your canvas perfect. Canvas Enhancement A Canvas enhancement class with Tony is a great way to learn new techniques and stitches on a canvas purchased at the Needle Works. Select a canvas from your stash or, better yet, get that new canvas you love. We ll send it to Tony, and he will select the perfect threads and write a stitch guide with personalized diagrams just for you and your canvas. When class starts, you will work one-on-one with Tony to learn the stitches and perfect your technique. These classes always fill quickly, so sign up now!
