One to One - Susan Portra

If you are a needlepoint fanatic you have, no doubt, heard of Susan Portra.  All her students say she is quite simply the best!  Imagine what it would be like to have a mentor to work with you on a canvas - to teach you how to choose what stitch to do, threads to use, and color to select.

There are only two months left on Susan’s schedule this year!

Susan’s One to One format allows you to focus on a canvas without interruption.  You’ll come away with a solid plan for stitching your canvas. Susan doesn’t just assign threads and stitches, she teaches you how to approach your canvas as never before.  You’re not just learning stitches and following instructions,  you’ll go way beyond that to a level of understanding that will increase your confidence and knowledge of needlepoint many times over!
