We are using the same format and structure as level 1. With a Online technical & f2f meet on alternating weeks. We are finding great success using this format, as we believe see your technical up close, is allowing you to process the information easier than being in a class setting. The classes are reordered, so that you can also reflect on them time after time.
In this class you will learn more challenging designs, new stitches, following templates. You will make a tote bag and waist coat. We encourage you to work independently, understanding how to modify, look at things logically, and to work a magic ring, amongst many other stitches and designs.
You will also receive our self designed illustrated guide, with areas specifically for notes. We will also create a dvd, that compliments your classes. We have also created templates for creating your designs, and will carefully go through this section with you, so you can make soo much more.
Kits can be bought separately to your course. We will give you a kit list so you can buy or look in your own stash for what you already have. lol
