Turn Flat Embroidery Into 3D Strawberries at the Embroidery Extravaganza

Ready to make your embroidery pop off the fabric?

Have you been wanting to add real dimension to your nature-inspired embroidery—berries, leaves, petals—but felt intimidated by all the stumpwork terminology and techniques? This virtual class is designed to make those sculptural effects approachable, fun, and totally doable.

Embroidery Extravaganza March 4, 2026

At this year’s Embroidery Extravaganza, I’ll be teaching Dimensional Stumpwork Strawberries, and I’ll show you exactly how to:

●      Use wire and padding to create sculptural, lifted elements

●      Work two foundational stumpwork techniques: wire slips and stuffed stitching

●      Stitch juicy strawberry shapes and dimensional leaves step by step

●      Use couching, long and short satin stitch, buttonhole stitch, and corded detached buttonhole stitch for rich texture

●      Build versatile 3D skills you can apply to future nature-inspired projects

We’ll walk through a charming stumpwork strawberry design from start to finish so you leave with both a beautiful piece and a toolkit of dimensional techniques. Order your kit here to stitch along with me.

Embroidery Extravaganza is a full day of inspiration and technique, featuring incredible sessions from Judith Baker Montano and other amazing instructors. You’ll explore:

●      How to turn simple stitches into lush, dimensional textures

●      Adding 3D details and playful elements

●      Embellishing garments and specialty fabrics with confidence
