Embroidery Technique of the Month May 2026: Signed, Sealed, Stitched – Heartfelt Greeting Cards (May 11)

May 11, 10-3, lunch provided.

Put a personal stitch on life’s big (and little) moments. In this class, we’ll use OESD’s Heartfelt Greeting Cards collection to create several embroidered cards, each with charming artwork and sentiments for different occasions and life stages.

You’ll learn how to hoop card stock, manage layered stitching, and finish your cards neatly so they’re ready to pop in the mail or tuck into a gift bag. Whether you need congratulations, comfort, or just a cheerful hello, you’ll leave with a stack of cards and a skill that always delivers.

Supply list is below and a 20% is available for any necessary supplies after you have registered for class.

No prior embroidery experience required, though basic knowledge of machine operation is helpful. Don't forget to bring your enthusiasm!
