This course is an in-depth exploration into the band sampler. Each lesson is designed to introduce one band segment to the student. The student will be guided in the selection of materials, band placement, and stitches to produce a sampler uniquely his or her own. With supporting material, the student is asked to write a response to a sampler query at the conclusion of the course. With the completion of this six-part course, the student will have stitched a band sampler, created a notebook of stitches, and have supple- mental research material. LESSON 1.  Introduction, historic background, getting started, and stitching whitework bands. LESSON 2. The why and the stitching of alphabets in assorted tech- niques. LESSON 3. The double-running bands, their sources and use. LESSON 4.  Scattered or spot motifs in a variety of stitches. LESSON 5.  Cross stitch variations in all directions. LESSON 6.  Embellishments, research paper, finishing, and framing of band sampler.
