Lowers blood pressure

Embroidery calms the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and contributes to lower blood pressure, reducing stress for improved well-being.
Regulates breath

Engaging in embroidery encourages mindful, rhythmic stitching, promoting focused breathing patterns that can induce a sense of calm and relaxation.
Calms nervous system

Embroidery, with its repetitive and rhythmic hand movements, engages the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.
Form deep social bonds

Our online community fosters connection through a shared creative space, encouraging communication and supporting the exchange of ideas, nurturing deep social bonds among members.

I appreciate your special consideration in the administration side of things…..very thoughtful and helpful. I am making a return to crewel work after a, dare I say, decades absence. I find it very soothing to ‘slow stitch’ a mindful escape for our busy lives.
