Sun Formula (5h): Lunéville Hook Course for Beginners
A dedicated introduction to the Lunéville hook — the heart of Haute Couture Embroidery. Learn how to set up the embroidery frame and master the chain stitch, along with bead and sequin application.
Unlock the Secret Tool of Parisian Ateliers. This dedicated course provides a focused, hands-on introduction to the coveted Lunéville hook—the heart of Haute Couture embroidery. Dive into the core challenge of the craft: mastering the fundamental chain stitch. Under personalized, structured guidance, you will gain the control and fluidity needed to execute this essential stitch with precision, followed by your first application of beads and sequins. This is a focused path to confident mastery, transforming a complex tool into an extension of your creative will.
Recommended Session Structure: This formula requires at least two calendar days to complete, as structured practice with the Lunéville hook between lessons is essential for mastery. You can choose to break it into:
- Two structured sessions (e.g., 2.5h + 2.5h on 2 different days); or
- Three shorter sessions (e.g., 2h + 1.5h + 1.5h on 3 different days).
Forget the limits of large group settings. These private courses are meticulously designed for maximum progress, ensuring every hour of your investment is focused purely on your goals. Taught in English, French, or Spanish, courses take place in my Toulouse studio and are tailored to your pace and level.
Receive immediate, expert feedback and a structured learning experience that guides you from your very first stitch to creating exquisite Parisian-style embroidery.
Each in-person embroidery workshop is a fully immersive learning experience, designed to give you expert guidance, hands-on practice, and a beautifully curated Haute Couture embroidery project to complete.

Booking & Scheduling
After you purchase your preferred Embroidery Course Formula, I will contact you to schedule your private 1-to-1 sessions at the studio. Each session typically lasts between 1h30 and 3h, and depending on the selected formula, one or more sessions may be required to complete your course.
Once the details are confirmed, your workshop is officially booked! You’ll receive all the practical information—location, schedule, and preparation notes. Meanwhile, I’ll prepare the materials, gather the curated kit, and make sure everything is ready for a smooth, hands-on learning experience.
The Day of the Course: What to Bring
Preparation: Please bring your reading glasses (if required) and a clear willingness to learn! All specialized materials, tools, and the full kit are provided at the studio.
Multi-Session Logistics: If your chosen formula requires more than one session, you will take the embroidery frame (approx. 90 cm x 70 cm) home with you. This ensures you can complete structured practice homework between sessions, which is essential for mastering techniques before moving on.
Course Validity and Rescheduling Policy Validity
Each course formula is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. All sessions must be completed within this period.
Rescheduling: Please note that private sessions require a significant time commitment for preparation. Requests to cancel or reschedule a confirmed private session must be made at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations or no-shows with less than 48 hours’ notice will result in the session being forfeited, except in cases of Force Majeure (as defined in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale).
Training Certificate
Upon successful completion of your course, you will receive a Training Certificate detailing the hours and techniques mastered, serving as formal recognition of your new skills.

Yes. No previous embroidery experience is required. I’ll guide you through the basics step by step, from mounting the embroidery frame to learning how to use the Lunéville hook (also known as a tambour hook). You can join the course as a complete beginner and learn haute couture embroidery from scratch.
The courses are scheduled around your availability. There are no fixed course dates or hours: you and I arrange each session according to our respective schedules. Courses are usually held Monday to Friday, between 8:30 am and 8:00 pm, with some flexibility when needed.
The embroidery courses take place at my private studio in Toulouse, France. A few days before your first session, I’ll send you all the practical information you need to find the studio easily, whether you’re coming by public transport or by car.
Just you! All my embroidery courses are 1-to-1, so you receive my full attention throughout every session. I guide you through each technique, give you personalised feedback, and correct your gestures when needed, so you can understand the techniques clearly and learn them correctly.
Each embroidery session lasts between 1 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time to explore the techniques for that session and for you to practise them with my guidance before continuing your embroidery project at home.
Yes. Practising at home between sessions is an essential part of the course. During each session, we usually explore 2 to 4 embroidery techniques, but mastering them requires regular practice. You’ll therefore have some work to continue at home, at your own pace, so you can practise the techniques and gradually progress with your embroidery project.
Very little! You only need to bring a pair of scissors and your glasses, if you need them for close-up work. Everything else is provided. I lend you an embroidery frame for the duration of the course, and your embroidery kit, included with the course, contains all the supplies you need, including the Lunéville hook, beads, threads, sequins, and other materials.
Yes. If you’re unable to attend, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance so I can rearrange the session and adjust my schedule accordingly. This notice allows me to keep the course flexible while making sure we both have the time we’ve set aside for your learning.
Yes! You can gift an embroidery course to someone special. The process is simple:
- Select & personalise: Choose the embroidery course you wish to gift. During checkout, enter the recipient’s name and any personal message you’d like to include.
- Receive your gift certificate: Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a personalised, print-ready PDF gift certificate by email. Please check your spam folder if you don’t see it in your inbox. The certificate includes the details of the gifted course and is addressed to the recipient.
- Redeem & schedule: The recipient simply contacts me at the Delta V Créations studio using the details on the certificate to schedule their private 1-to-1 sessions at their convenience.
What is the difference between your embroidery courses and a traditional embroidery school?
If I had to sum it up in three words: flexibility, personalisation, and full attention.
Unlike a traditional group embroidery class, my courses are truly 1-to-1. There is only you and me during the session. I stay right in front of you, on the other side of the embroidery frame, guiding you throughout the lesson, correcting your gestures, giving you immediate feedback, and helping you whenever you encounter a difficulty.
The schedule is also entirely adapted to you. Rather than following a fixed timetable, we arrange each session according to our respective availability. You also practise at home at your own pace, and we schedule the next session once you are ready to move forward. Whether you need three days or three weeks to complete your practice, there is no rush.
The goal is simple: you learn at your rhythm, with my full attention, and progress according to your own needs.
