What is a Progressive Home Study project? These are projects that are divided into monthly segments of instruction and thread kits.  The number of months into which a project is separated depends on the complexity of the stitch guide and/or canvas. Why would I want to participate? Be included because these are great projects with fun stitch guides and loads of different threads to try. You won't have to search the world over for all of the threads, charms, beads, and buttons needed to complete the design.  The cost has been divided into the cost of the monthly kit so that you don't have to pay for all of your threads at once.  The first kit is the most expensive because it includes the canvas/canvases involved in the project.   Stitching and/or kit questions can be addressed to our Shop's email address (better for kit questions)  Amys3808@aol.com or directly to Amy Bunger's email address (better for stitching questions)  amybunger@aol.com If you are a shop owner and would like to start a progressive study group in your shop, contact us at Amy's Golden Strand and we will be happy to give you the information.  The Home Study stitch guides are designed to be a class with a remote teacher.
