Along with the hands-on personal service you'll receive in selecting fibers and accessories, instruction in special classes and other niceties, Stitches by the Bay offers its clientele an array of special services, such as project finishing, custom design and stitching. We are also proud to offer private lessons from June McKnight and Caitlin Greenlee, our in-house teachers. June offers her Creative Consultations as well for those who live out of range for shop visits.

Private Lessons with Caitlin

This Spring and Summer, Stitches by the Bay is offering instruction in Beginning and Intermediate Needlepoint with our own Caitlin Greenlee. Geared for ages pre-teen through young adult, these sessions will teach all the basics to get you started on the road to needlepoint expertise. Of course, all ages are welcome to take advantage of this learning opportunity at the great low price of $25 for children, $35 for adults!

 

Creative Consultations from June McKnight

If you would like special guidance but live too far away or cannot attend one of our fun and informative classes at Stitches by the Bay, then a personal Creative Consultation is the answer. Select a canvas from the store’s collection or mail in a project from your own personal stash. Fill out the Creative Consultation form so that your special requirements are known. Then June will begin the creative process of selecting the threads and creating the stitches just for you. In about 6 to 8 weeks you will receive an entire booklet dedicated to you and your project! It will be like taking one of June's needlepoint classes in the comfort of your own home. In fact, all you will need to do is to put on your sweats and pop a romantic comedy into the VCR or DVD to indulge in your very own private stitching retreat. Click the link below to get started!
