Chicken Scratch - June Stitch Club

Our next stitch club will be on Saturday 20th June when Bron will be taking us through creating a piece of chicken scratch embroidery.

Materials List

  • A piece of gingham ideally with 1/4" squares in the colour of your choice.
  • Matching perle 5 cotton and usually white perle 5 although any colour can be used
  • Matching perle 8 cotton and usually white perle 8 again, any colour can be used
  • Sewing needle that will take the thickness of the threads
  • A tapestry needle that will take the thickness of the threads
  • Ideally an embroidery hoop to keep the tension of stitches even and correct
  • Scissors (cutting and embroidery)
  • Normal sewing kit

Below are examples but this is not what we'll be sewing:





As usual, we will be at the Thomas Garrett Building in Heighington.

Time: 10:00 - 15:00.  Please bring a packed lunch (there is also a shop in Heighington where you can purchase something to eat and drink).  Tea/coffee/biscuits/cake will be provided.

As usual, please let Judith/Jacqui know if you are coming.  We look forward to seeing you there!
