Needlepoint Basics Class Part 3 Starting Basketweave

Описание: In this video, we continue the Needlepoint Basics Class with the introduction of the basketweave stitch, done in the right handed style. I go over the "steps" and "poles" and explain how to see them when looking at a needlepoint canvas (mono canvas, specifically.) Next we move on to how to anchor your first stitch using a waste knot, then how to begin basketweave on a corner. See next videos to explain how to start basketweave on other types of shapes.

The left handed basketweave demonstration will follow.

The canvas I am demonstrating with is from Spellbound Stitchery's Needlepoint Basics Class kit, which can be found at spellboundstitchery.com. It is painted to show the stitcher the first few diagonal rows to get them started with the basketweave stitch. The blue dots are the "training wheels" of this canvas.

The class video content can be found in the playlist here on YouTube and the kit I put together for the class can be purchased at Spellboundstitchery.com. No purchase is necessary to benefit from the class videos!

The Needlepoint Basics Class goes over the fundamentals you need to get started with needlepoint, including the supplies and materials used, the basketweave stitch, and the continental stitch.

I hope you fall in love with needlepoint and enjoy each and every stitch of the process!
