Located at the Essex County Fairgrounds, the Vermont Quilt Festival is an international event that you don’t want to miss!
This class will introduce you to our professional embroidery software and its different modules, so you can learn to create your own designs.
Create a embroidery design using 5DDesign Creator and 5DQuilt Designer that you can stitch out using different fabrics to create four separate panels, each representing a different season. You’ll use Design Creator to make an appliqued tree with appliqued leaves, and Designer to create a stippled background. This is the first class, and we’ll have one class each month (yes, you will have homework!) until it is done. This class will give you a whole set of tools to make your own original designs into beautiful quilts. You’ll only need to bring your computer to this first class, as you’ll create the design. Check out Karen’s sample in the store on your next visit — you’ll love it!
