If you own a sewing machine, have you spent time exploring the exciting areas of your machine that include the many (or multitudes!) of built-in stitches, functions and even memory capabilities? If you answered No to the above question, make time to attend this seminar to unlock and unleash a hidden world of creativity within your sewing machine! It is important to note that any machine has the potential to create with decorative stitches and pretty threads, even if you just have an assortment of basic utility stitches.
This seminar will cover both the basics and advanced techniques of "Stitch Recipe Play"; creative ways of using and combining stitches to create one of a kind edgings and creative stitch detail. Basic information regarding the proper (and successful) use of decorative threads, needles, and stabilizers will also be included.
Sign up today and explore the different ways to use, combine and create with the many built-in stitches found on your machine. This class will be taught as a "notebook" format so you'll have an opportunity to create a variety of samples featuring a variety of stitch recipes techniques. You'll leave the class with everything you need to unleash new creativity in your sewing!
Non-BERNINA owners welcomed in this class.
