I wrote out a list of things I wanted to teach her. I began with the basics. I don't know if I began to simplisticly, but I reviewed every part of the shuttle.
Here is the first stitches she made:
Within 3 Double stitches she had the flip down. Our lesson lasted for about 3 hours.
She learned the following in that 3 hours:
- The parts of a shuttle
- What the shuttle is for
- What the ball thread is for
- The difference in core thread and working thread
- What makes up a double stitch
- How to load a shuttle
- The flip
- How to count stitches
- What a picot is and how to make one
- How to untat or rip out
- How to make a ring
- What happens when you don't flip a stitch in a ring
- How to close a ring
- Reverse work
- How to complete a join
- How to read a pattern
- Abbreviations
Phew, I think I'm tired just typing the list.
Bekah has some homework to do. I gave her three patterns to complete or attempt to complete before our next lesson.
More to come on her lessons.
