          Embroidery Club March 2024


Welcome to Embroidery Club 2024! I am very excited that you will be joining me on this exciting embroidery adventure. My goals for the club are that you will increase your knowledge of machine embroidery and experiment with new kinds of projects this year. It is going to be a fun year.

For our March project, we are going to make an “in the hoop” project. This means that the wallet will be constructed in the hoop and the last step is sewing an edge stitch around the wallet. We will be using our embroidery tools and our sewing tools to make this fun project. This project will also  refresh our in the hoop skills.
