Thread painting is a unique skill to embellish your quilts by “painting” the images on your quilt top, clothing or wherever your imagination may lead you. The quilt top represents your canvas, while the thread is your paint.
What Is The Aim Of The Course?
In this “Master Class On Architectural Thread Painting” you will discover how to use painting skills to add more depth and realism to your hand embroidery designs.

Hey thanks for the post! How long do you think it would take for someone to get good at hand embroidery? Like good enough to sell?
I guess it depends on how much time you are willing to put into the process. I think hand embroidery might be much more challenging and it might take quite a while to master this skill to be good enough in order to produce very good quality in order to sell. However, machine embroidery requires less skill as e.g. our Embird embroidery software which is a computerised solution makes embroidery very simple indeed.
Embroidery machines are so sophisticated and fully programmable today that it creates amazing embroidery designs pretty much on autopilot. All you need is to be able to create awesome embroidery designs on the computer using our embroidery software, save it to a memory stick and then pop it inside your modern embroidery machine. All you then need to do, is to put the correct colour threads and press a button and the machine will do the embroidery for you on autopilot from start to finish.
You may now say that you do not have very good computer skills. Well, you can buy many good quality embroidery designs which has already been created for you and you can then simply pop your memory stick with the already done embroidery design into your embroidery machine. If you search hard enough there are also a lot of free quality designs available online. You can also pay to have your own unique custom embroidery designs created for you.
So in short, there are ways to work around the fact that you may not have the necessary skills and still be able to generate income through embroidery quite quickly through the utilisation of embroidery software and a modern embroidery machine.
Hi, looks really professional and intriguing.
By the way I also really like the logo of your site.
Many thanks for your very kind words, Michael. It is certainly welcomed and much appreciated!
Amazing embroidery! My stitches are quite rather umm … shall we say, in need of improvement. The price of the course seems very reasonable; it’s just beyond my budget for the time being. The course would pay for itself in a matter of weeks or months if someone wanted to sell their work. Thanks for sharing!
