Hmong Embroidery: Heart Reverse Applique – Saturday, June 28, 2025

Our Hmong embroidery teacher, Mandora Young, is back to teach another beginner-friendly technique using the reverse applique embroidery method that is popular in traditional Hmong textiles. Students will learn how to fold and cut a heart motif on a piece of fabric, learn stitching techniques, and complete the piece by stitching a border.

In this class students will use embroidery stitches such as satin, running, single, French knot, and
back stitch to do a traditional Hmong heart motif reverse applique. Basic embroidery skills, such as threading the needle and using running stitches, are all you need. Depending on the student’s needlework level, the project may be completed in class.

Your instructor will provide:

• embroidery needle
• fabric (cotton fabric in bold colors and size of fabric varies)
• floss
• thread

Students should bring to class:
