Learn
Stitches Events is the premiere place to dive into the Fiber Arts.
Our events are taught by industry leading instructors, and there is something for everyone to learn. Whether you are interested in knitting, crocheting, sewing, spinning, and anywhere in between, there is a Stitches class to meet your needs.
I have taken virtual classes with other organizations and Stitches has been my best experience!! The 6 hours of classes really allows the time to grasp and practice the concepts being taught, giving the student time to practice and ask questions for the next session…. I can’t wait for next Stitches at Home!!
Shop
The Stitches Market is a unique way to explore products from a diverse group of fiber arts industry artisans and crafters.
The Market is offered as part of our event schedule at Stitches Expo at Home and Stitches in-person events. Registered students receive access to the Market; you can also purchase tickets to the Market separately.
Create
When you attend a Stitches Event, you aren’t just learning from an amazing instructor, you’re joining a community of creator peers.
Stitches Events have always raised the bar. Others have tried to imitate them, but they are never equalled. Putting quality first, you always feel they care about you and your experience. Feedback is always taken positively. With Stitches at Home, this sense of community has been brought to an entirely different level. Classes are virtual which eliminates the stress of travel, childcare, etc. The cost is extremely reasonable and you feel good knowing it goes to the staff and instructors. The teachers seem more relaxed and share their expertise over multiple days rather than trying to get everything through a 2-3 hour class. Having the classes recorded and available for review for a few days after is brilliant. I’ve immersed myself in knitting for many years and still learn something new. Looking forward to participating in future events!
FAQ
What time do Stitches Events take place?
All virtual events occur in Central Time. All in-person events occur in the local time zone of the location.
I just tried to login and register for an event but it didn’t work. Do you know why?
Previously created accounts for Knitting Universe will not work to register for a Stitches Event. The first time you place an order on the Stitches.events site, you will create a login and password that will be used to access the site.
What if I am new to making and crafting?
First and foremost, welcome! We’re glad you’re here. Students experiencing Stitches classes all have a variety of crafting and making experience. Whether you are just a beginner or a master at your craft, Stitches welcomes you.
What is Stitches at Home?
During Stitches at Home events you will experience 6, 8, or 10 hour classes over the course of the two-weekend event. At Home classes allow you to take a deep dive into your favorite topics.
What is Stitches Expo at Home?
You’ll enjoy 2 or 4 hour classes that span a variety of topics during Expo at Home events. Whether you want to learn a new technique or grow your current skills, there is a class for you. Expo at Home events also feature a Stitches Market, a great opportunity to catch-up with your favorite fiber arts vendor.
If I register for a class do I need to purchase a Stitches Market ticket?
No. All registered students for Expo at Home and in-person events automatically receive access to the Market.
What size are Stitches classes?
Almost all classes are capped at 20 students. If the class is taught by a teaching duo, the cap may be raised to 25. This is to ensure you have an amazing one-on-one and hands-on learning experience.
Why does my order for classes still show as “Processing?”
Don’t worry! “Processing” means your registration is complete and your class spot is confirmed. About two weeks before your event takes place, you should see this change to “Complete.”
What is your COVID policy?
The health and safety of all Stitches Events attendees, instructors, exhibitors, and staff is incredibly important. Be sure to check each event for the most up to date information regarding our event procedures. You can also read our COVID Policy and Waiver of Liability.
What do I need to participate in a virtual Stitches class?
You simply need an interest to learn something new, and a device (computer, tablet, phone) with video and audio capabilities.
