Embroider a tee shirt for someone special. Or make a little jacket from a tee shirt for the cool evening breeze. We will work with tee shirts for babies to grandpa, discussing placement, stabilizers and hooping techniques. We will also have fun with the new stabilizer Fabric Magic. (Fee: $15.00 for Newington Viking owners, and $25.00 for all others.)
Every Month we will work on a new embroidery project. For Viking Embroidery machine owners,
the project materials list is included when you purchase the designs with the instructions.

Multiple hoopings are a breeze once you learn this technique. This class is especially designed for Designer Diamond, Designer Diamond Deluxe and Ruby owners.
