Trish Burr’s new DVD THE LONG & THE SHORT OF IT – A Needle Painting Workshop With Trish Burr, is intended as a supplement to her books and kits on Long & Short Stitch Embroidery.

 

The unit comprises two discs:

 

A DVD which takes you through which materials to use, how to transfer a design, how to mount your fabric etc.  Step by step demos on long and short stitch - the basics, how to stitch different shapes, feathers and fur, and an easy way to get around those awkward curves .  Each step is clearly demonstrated and zooms in on important points.

 

A CDROM which includes -  Five attractive projects ranging from beginner to intermediate, including flowers and birds plus materials, preparation, a stitch glossary and suppliers list.  All the text is available as PDF files that can easily be printed out from your computer.

 

Trish quotes:  “I have had many requests for online classes from people outside of South Africa who are unable to attend my workshops and am hoping that this DVD will meet their need.  I remember well my first frustrated attempts at long and short shading and hope that I can enlighten others and help overcome any difficulties with the technique.

 

I have tried to provide a relaxed, informal atmosphere with simple explanations.  The advantage of being able to watch the demos on your computer screen or television is that you can work alongside at your own pace and there is no pressure to keep up, as is often the case in a workshop. 

 

The camera allows us to zoom in on certain details that would be almost impossible to achieve in an ordinary workshop, I am really quite excited about this aspect!

 

This workshop is ideal for beginners but can also be used by more advanced embroiderers who want to perfect their technique.”
