Introduction

The embroidery section is separated into different techniques. The panel on the left shows the many different types of stitching.

There any many organisations in the UK where you can learn embroidery skills such as the Woman's Institute (W.I.)  Needlecraft Guild.  There are monthly meetings, and the speakers cover different types of embroidery.

The Embroiderers Guild, is another organisation with members of all skill levels.   Many of the members are not only very good embroiderers, but designers as well, and do amazing work.   It is good to bounce ideas off others, and see their work. They have a yearly weekend workshop, with tutors, and day workshops throughout the year.

There are many fibre crafts forums on the internet such as ‘Fibre Crafts.  On this you can meet embroiderers and lace makers from all over the world and share information and work.  The forum is now part of Forums America, where you can keep in touch, swap work and participate in ‘Round Robins’ where work is passed round in a group.  In this way you can make friends in your own country and abroad.

The embroidery world is very large, and there is always someone out there, who is willing to share knowledge and time.
