HAND EMBROIDERY ONLY - I do not teach machine embroidery.
Do you have trouble getting your French knots to come out perfect? Do you want to know what a French knot is? Do you want to jazz up your clothing or home decorating with some embellishments? Are you looking for a project to work on during your commute? Do you have a vintage piece you would like to repair or restore? Have you seen cool and inspiring projects on Pinterest? I can help you make anything you set your mind to.
I am familiar with almost every type of embroidery and the tools and materials to will help you create the effect you desire.
Please note, I have very little experience with computerized embroidery machines and do not provide lessons in this area of expertise. My approach to teaching embroidery is to develop the skills you may want or need to express your own creativity. I teach pure technique.
Students are expected to provide all tools and materials but I will help you find what you need for your ...

Most of my experience focuses on working with older adults and people with special needs. Minors must have a supervising adult present. I do not work with groups of young children.

About Molly C.

With the advent of computerized sewing machines, the art of embroidery has fallen to the wayside. Learn how to craft intricate embellishments on garments, linens, and samplers, beautifying the world around you. Supplies can be provided for a small additional fee (advance notice required) or student can be provided with a short materials list.
About Molly
Raised in New York city, I attended Stuyvesant High School, the jewel in the crown of the NYC public school system. Traditional academic achievement was not enough for me however, and I went on to study fashion design, honing my artistic skills at Drexel University. Call me a renaissance woman or a Jill-of-All-Trades, I've been employed in fashion houses, graphic design firms and visual effects shops. I've also made my way freelancing as a photographer, web designer, and writer. In addition to this variety of creative skills, I have a Bachelors in Business Administration, and training in Quickbooks. I recently scored a perfect 170 on the GRE verbal, and obtained admission into several competitive doctoral programs in Clinical Psychology.

I realize it is not enough to merely have skills or intelligence in order to be a tutor. One must
be able to convey them to the student in a way that is effective and (hopefully) enjoyable. From the helping students prepare a portfolio for undergraduate admission, to teaching the basics of essay writing, I have a warm attentive attitude that sets students of all ages at ease. My teaching style is focused on the learning style of the person I am working with, tailoring the exercises to help achieve specific goals.

About Dovile
I began teaching while studying in Art Institute. My first students were 5 to 7 yr. old kids. It was very challenging, but also very rewarding. I was teaching them skills, they were teaching me patience. Later the age of my students grew, until I ended up teaching the same students I was in the same classes just 6 months ago. Again another challenge. I love challenges and even more I love helping others to overcome them.
My philosophy about teaching is that everybody can learn, it is only the way how we learn is different for different people. Another very important thing - I strive to be creative, respectful and approachable.

About Rhiannon P.
Close
This is perhaps my favorite subject to teach. There are such a variety of things you can do with the most basic of stitches, which students can then build upon depending on their interests. My goal for my students to walk away with a confidence in creating their own designs, with techniques tailored to their specific aesthetic goals.
*No machine embroidery.
About Rhiannon
My name is Rhiannon and I am a third generation crafter. Originally I went to school for art history, all the while crafting. Eventually I had enough of studying other people's work and instead wanted to make my own and empower others to do the same.
I consider myself to be the "Swiss Army Knife" of crafters. I have delved into nearly every craft and love passing this knowledge onto my students. For these reasons I have a diverse range of crafts I can teach, including: knitting, crochet, embroidery, hairpin lace, needle felting, and shuttle tatting. In addition to my passion for a variety of crafts, I also love teaching a variety of skill levels, from students beginning their first stitch to someone who wants to redesign a pattern.
With a positive attitude and a willingness to learn I can teach you any of a variety of crafts.

About LILY Q.
Close
Embroidery is my favorite subject to teach. It offers the student endless creative possibilities. There are amazing machines that enable you to stretch your imagination beyond just sewing to decorating and personalized branding. You will learn how to hoop and set your machine for the best embroidery experience.
About LILY
I am a fashion designer/instructor and former social worker. I am very patient with students and passionate about sewing. I get excited watching students build skills gradually from basic through advanced level techniques.
Also, I am one of the few teachers in the country who teaches the exclusive "Freehand" sewing, which is sewing without ready-made (commercial) pattern, like our grandparents did.
As a social worker, I taught participants in a homeless shelter, how to make various items geared towards independent living. For six years now, I've been teaching at a fabric store in East Harlem where patrons sign up for group sewing lessons as well as private lessons. I teach garment construction, alterations, home decor, and various sewing projects.

About Natasha T.
Close
I teach a unique style of embroidery to create super texturized pieces of art.
I have been embroidering since I was 9 years old and am passionate about teaching others fun and unique ways to embroider.
About Natasha
My grandmother taught me to embroider when I was 9 years old. A Russian immigrant, she got a job in NYC sewing elastic into underwear. She practiced embroidery well into her nineties. I have taken what my grandmother taught me and applied it to many different styles and practices of embroidery. From art work to embroidered t-shirts and hoops, I've done it all.

"Kim came to Manhattan for our lesson and was very promt and ready to teach a specific set of techniques that I wanted to learn to complete a Mother's Day
project. She taught in a way that was easy to understand and I was able to catch on quickly. Kim is very personable and it's clear in her clean work that she has a lot of professional experience. I appreciate her knowledge and guidance in instruction. Thank you Kim!! I'm having fun with my new found craft/meditation!!"
