Embroidery Technique of the Month: Cut-in-Place Appliqué on a Tote Bag
Featuring OESD Collection 12653 - Floral Alphabet Appliqué
Unleash your creativity in our machine embroidery Technique of the Month class! Learn the ‘cut in place’ appliqué technique and get hands-on with a large free-arm hoop to design your very own tote bag. It’s the perfect way to combine skill-building and personal flair—leave with a one-of-a-kind bag that’s all you!
Class supplies include use of a free arm hoop for those who do not have one to bring to class. Free arm hoops allow for stitching on hard to hoop items, like finished tote bags or sweatshirts. By the end, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind tote bag and new skills to take your embroidery game to the next level! 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!
