Regional Groups

Be creative together, learn from each other, and share your passion for textiles.
Our regional groups bring together people who enjoy hand embroidery and textile design. Whether it’s working together, exchanging knowledge, or finding new inspiration – this is where encounters, friendships, and creative ideas emerge.
In many places, our groups regularly invite you to meetings, workshops, and joint projects – open to beginners and experienced embroiderers alike.
