Make a special wall hanging mini-quilt that will be perfect to decorate your home this Thanksgiving. We will use an embroidery machine to embroider “Happy Thanksgiving” across the top. If you do not have an embroidery machine, you may use one of ours. (Let us know when you sign up so that we can be prepared.) Bring your machine for the applique’ and construction of your wall hanging. Any machine with a zigzag stitch can be used to do the applique’.
Pre-preparation to do before coming to class: Follow the pattern instructions for tracing the patterns onto the paper backing of the fusible web (listed below). Leave about ¼” margin around each piece and cut them apart. This will help to speed up assembly during class.
