Ribbon Class at Stitch Inn!

Last week, River Silks made a stop at Stitch Inn in Elm Grove, WI to teach a class in stitching with silk ribbon.  We had about 14 in the class, with a range of experience from beginners to expert stitchers. We taught from locking the ribbon on the needle all the way through the spider rose stitch.

Stitch Inn is located at 13425 Watertown Plank Rd, Elm Grove,WI53122, phone 262-780-5451.

Cheryl, the owner of Stitch Inn, arranged to have the class at the Silver Spur restaurant. It was the perfect arrangement, having class and lunch in the same location.

One of the stitchers Susie Landron was kind enough to bring in a piece she had just finished embroidering with River Silks ribbon.  The pattern was from Inspirations magazine, issue 64 from 2009, pictured below. Thanks for sharing it with us, Susie!

Thanks for hosting, Cheryl and Stitch Inn!

Ribbon Rose tutorial video

Bestitched has a quick 2 minute ribbon rose tutorial by Jane Ayeroff on their website!

This stitch can be used in needlepoint and embroidery!

With River Silks silk ribbon, you don’t have to use a knot in the back, if you don’t want to. You can stitch right through the ribbon.  It won’t run.

Thanks for the education, Bestitched!
