Embroidery Basics Zipper bag in the Hoop



Embroidery basics is a great class if you are new to embroidery, or if you want to get more comfortable with your skills. In this class you will learn about different embroidery tools and what they are most commonly used for. You will also learn about the different types of stabilizer and which to choose for your project. All techniques will be demonstrated hands-on! 

This is a make and take class. Together we will make a zipper bag using all the new skills you have learned. Don’t worry though, the machine does most of the work! Skills you will be learning are: perfect placement and how to achieve it, installing a zipper, basic embroidery hooping, floating, and applique! Those are all big words, so we will break them down to make sure you understand the differences!
