To All Embroidery and Textile Members

Thank you for visiting our website.

All meetings are at Patcham Community Centre. Our meetings are usually held on the first Saturday of every month when we meet our ‘Stitch friends’ with an excellent and varied programme.

Brighton Embroidery Group is run by the branch committee with the support of all its members. Our meetings are for ‘fun, friendship and fellowship’ with the opportunity to learn from each other. We have a varied programme of half day workshops and talks. Members can take part in day workshops, members challenges, outings and the Annual Garden Party.

Probably the most important reason for joining the Brighton Embroidery and Textiles is to enjoy stitching in a friendly atmosphere, whether by hand or with a sewing machine. We welcome stitchers of all ability.
