 Embroidery Club

                                                                         Want to learn some new tricks, techniques, and time saving methods?  Well, we’ll try our best to help you with that! Anita Goodesign       has a new package program called “Projects” that have a retail of $29.00.  We’ll use them occasionally, and you’ll get your 20%      discount for attending class.  We may just teach you something that is already on your machine, like re-size, scale, design positioning, design shaping, how to save designs—you get the idea!  The first project is one of the “Project” packs, Sun Bonnet Sue, hotpads in the hoop.  Again, if you bought your embroidery machine from us, the classes are FREE.

   Kaleidoscope      

This process is similar to stack and whack only a lot easier and faster. . You will only stack 4 layers of fabrics and cut squares instead of pinwheels. 
 The first week we will stack, cut and assemble our kaleidoscope block centers.  In the next four weeks we will make 2 blocks each week and talk about how to lay out the top. If you feel the need we can schedule an additional class to put the top together. The quilt can be made in a bigger size but due to time limitations we will only make 8 blocks in class. If you want to make more blocks for the larger version you can make them at home as they are repeats of what we will make in class.    Class fee is $60 for 5 weeks of instruction and includes the pattern book, Kaleidoscope Symphony. Purchase your fabrics from The Stitching Nook and get your 20% class discount
