Module 4: Let’s Start Stitching!
Welcome to the final module—you're almost a textile pro! In this module, you’ll learn the basics of hand sewing, including important vocabulary, how to thread a needle, and three simple stitches: running stitch, backstitch, and whipstitch.
You’ll practice your stitches on an embroidery hoop and then use your new skills to make your own mini pillow or stuffie—based on a pattern you design yourself!
