Angles is a striking project with enduring interest and popularity, so we’re offering it as an online class. The design size is 10” x 10” square on 18 ct. pewter mono canvas, 180 x 180 stitches. Recommended for intermediate and advanced stitchers – you need to be comfortable reading charts! But, we always have relatively new stitchers in this class, and we’ll help you throughout, with large diagrams, video stitch demonstrations and Zoom sessions each week of the class.
We emphasize developing a natural stitching rhythm while you learn to execute complex stitches without constantly referring to the stitch diagrams. This project employs several different textures of cotton and metallic threads, and we show you how to use them.
Angles was designed in a grayscale color way with red as the accent color, although you may change the accent color if you want (red threads come with the kit, we’ll advise you on which threads to change on your own if you want a different accent color).
Class benefits:
- The instruction book is 145 pages, with additional large tabloid charts
- More than 15 video stitch demonstrations to review whenever and as many times as you wish
- Zoom sessions will be weekly on Tuesdays, 10 a.m. Central time, and will be recorded for review later if you have conflict with the time. However, the Zoom sessions are an added benefit and not essential for completing the project.
- There will be a dedicated online classroom in groups.io specifically for this class.
- Questions can be sent via email at any time, or can be posted in the dedicated classroom.
- Angles is only offered in a class settings

- 16″ x 16″ pewter 18 ct. mono deluxe canvas with taped edges

This is a great way to learn lots of “scary looking” stitches. They’re easy with Debbie’s charts, instructions & videos. I took this class last year & loved it! I learned so much. It also gives you the opportunity/experience in using many different fibers. Debbie offers tips on the best way to handle some of the fibers also.
Wendy –
Fantastic way to learn.
Vickie –
I hope to find time to start this soon.
Mary Ettari –
I took this online class with Debbie a year ago. While intimidating for a stitcher who has done mostly basketweave, it was a great re-introduction to counted canvass. I learned a great deal of new stitches and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The videos ar an awesome way to review.
Heather Luce –
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Debbie has spoiled me with her awesome diagrams, method of where to start and she walks you through everything, as well as awesome videos. The supplies are generous. I recommend any of her courses as I have taken several and have never been disappointed.

I took Debbie’s Angles class at a seminar in Syracuse, NY a few years ago. It was the class of Debbie’s that I had taken. I would not hesitate to take another class from her. Her instructions are so detailed, with pictures that help explain the different stitches perfectly. I would highly recommend taking one of Debbie’s classes.
Christine Forber –
Debbie’s instructions are second to none. Her stitch diagrams are large, clear, detailed, and extremely easy to follow. You almost don’t need the extra hand-holding that classes provide, but do the class anyway as you will learn lots of tips. She is also great at answering questions. I highly recommend any of her classes.
Jane Tanner –
One of my favorite pieces of all time. Of course I was a rebel and replaced the red with blue. Her instructions are fantastic and you get a feeling of accomplishment as each area is completed.

I’m just finishing up this on-line class with Debbie. It’s a complex design but she makes it very doable. Her instructions are great
– lots of detail on both the stitch and the placement. In addition she has videos posted online on the more complex stitches. Her classes are well organized, on Zoom and recorded so the are available to those who couldn’t participate live. The best online classes I’ve had!
Sharon DeVault –
I love the stitches in this design, and the great selection of threads!
Jean –
Debbie’s unique design as well as her written and video instructions made this the best class I have taken in my 30 years of EGA seminars.
Cindy Baldwin –
Great class. Instructions are wonderful and the videos are very helpful

Following is an excerpt from an email I sent to Debbie when I was working on this project: Good morning Debbie,
The Good Book tells us that “pride goeth before a fall.” I am testament to that this morning… I call myself an experienced stitcher, and yet last night as I struggled repeatedly with the double fans, I kept shaking my head wondering what I was doing wrong. I had worked several throughout the pattern with no difficulty whatsoever, and then all of a sudden, I just hit a brick wall.
Trust me when I tell you I was on the verge of sending you a message saying Help (because you had offered to help if I needed it), but I went and did a Google search, and lo and behold, there you were actually demonstrating the stitch on YouTube!!!
I just had to reach out this morning to tell you how thankful I am for YOUR gift and YOUR experience and YOUR know how, and the fact that it was available to me at 10 o’clock at night on the Internet!
Thanks to that life line, I have almost finished angles, and I’m all set to begin diamond delight number six in a green color palette. 😊
A final note, when Debbie received my email, she responded back and told me that it would have been perfectly OK for me to reach out and call her at 10 o’clock at night because I was stopped! I’m telling you, you just can’t get that kind of outstanding service and practical teaching guidance elsewhere. Debbie is the best!

This is my first online class with Debbie and have already signed up for another of her online classes. Debbie is an awesome teacher. Her videos and charts are excellent.

I loved this design from the first time I saw it! I am currently taking the class which is awesome. This is the 4th Debbie class I have taken, and I have loved each of them. The instructions are beyond wonderful, videos are great, and Zoom class answers all our questions. This is better than a live Seminar class! Recommend this class for experienced stitcher.
Sally Barton –
I took this class several years ago and used my own colours, green and Yellow. It is one of my favourite designs
Karen Carson –
This is the 3rd class I’ve taken from Debbie. These classes are the best for learning new stitches while creating a beautiful piece of art. The directions are very detailed and thorough. Debbie is great at answering your questions and helping you be successful. You won’t be disappointed when you take her classes.

I really enjoyed this class and looked forward to each week online. Debbie is a great teacher and her directions and charts are easy to follow. I learned a lot. I would highly recommend taking one of her classes.

One of the best online classes I have taken! With the chart diagrams and videos of stitches it was an excellent way to learn unfamiliar stitches. The Zoom sessions gave us a chance to ask questions directly to the designer. Thanks Deb.
