During the last few months I have started the Royal School of Needle work Certificate Course.  We started with Jacobean Embroidery which is stitched using Appleton wools. When you sign and pay for your first module you receive a kit which contains a slate frame, materials required less the wool and a book explaining the process. This book you will find is great help during the course. Along with materials provided you will need to gather together a steel ruler, coloured pencils, watercolour paints, glue and a few more items.
The tutor guides you on setting up your slate frame and placement of design which around A4 size. The design must be Jacobean in style and feature hillocks, bids, flowers, animal , leaves and have at least 18 different stitches within it.
