Stitcher's Garden is a class that will teach you so much about your machine! In this monthly class, you will learn different sewing techniques and how to utilize all those machine feet and accessories. If you have been unsure about what your machine will do, then this class is for you. We will start with a basic introduction to machine applique and from there you will learn something new each time you come to class. Your machine should be able to do some applique stitches, but does not need to be a high end machine. An embroidery machine is not needed for this class. This has been a very popular class with 8 previous classes! One of our students even won in the County Fair with her Stitcher's Garden quilt!
