Clubs at Sew n Save/ Elmwood Fabric

Embroidery By Machine

PATTIE OTTO

Each session of Embroidery Club is full of embroidery designs, projects and ideas that can be used on garments, home dec, kid stuff and more. You will receive full color direction sheets for several projects as well as original designs on a diskette or your own flash drive in your particular machine's format. No need to download from the Internet or convert designs. During this fun lecture-demo class you will also learn helpful hints on embroidering and hooping techniques, stabilizers, marking and new products. Bring your own projects for “show and tell" and there is always a chance to win a door prize. Classes meet three times every other month with a morning, evening and weekend session for your convenience.

MONTH 2: YOUR SUGGESTIONS
Is there anything you haven’t comprehended or unsure of how to do. Is there a technique you would liked explained and /or demonstrated? There will be a suggestion box available in the store for you to put in your request for Deb and Marlene to review. At their discretion, they will select a request and walk thru it from A to Z.
