The Designer Diamond Royale class is for Royale owners ONLY – There will be three classes that go over things like screen navigation, pop up stitches, the built in applique maker, and much more!! This particular class will cover the built in applique and design shaping features.

In addition to your machine, you WILL need your embroidery units and the 260×200 hoop, as well as standard embroidery accessories (plain woven fabric, stabilizer, embroidery thread, etc). I don’t think we will do any sewing, but bring a small scrap piece just in case! Don’t forget your power cord and foot pedal!

Budget approx. 1.5 hours for class, and plan to meet in the Joanns Classroom here 🙂

See you there!

Make your very own “custom made” pencil case or make-up unlike anyone else’s in this fun class.  You might even want to make several for Christmas gifts for your girlfriends.  Some fabric, a zipper, a sewing machine, and some time…and Presto!  You have a cut AND useful bag.

This bag can be made in any size.  The pencil case that we are making in class will be a finished size of approximately 8” X 3½”.  It needs to be made from a fabric that is thick or stiff—like an upholstery fabric or corduroy.  If you want to use a cotton fabric (like our sample), you will need to fuse a heavy interfacing onto it and add a lining.  When obtaining your supplies, you do NOT need the interfacing and lining if using the heavy fabric.

Supply list

• ¼ yd. outer fabric (see above comment)
• ¼ yd. lining (only if using a light-weight fabric)
• ¼ yd. Pellon TP971F fusible batting interfacing (only if using a light-weight fabric)
• 1/8 yd. ¼” wide ribbon (optional—this is the ribbon in the zipper pull)
• One 9” zipper
• Matching sewing thread
• Basic Sewing Kit
• Sewing machine with all of its accessories, foot control, and power cord—if you do not have a sewing machine, you may use one of our classroom machines.  You will need a 15J bobbin to use in our machine.  These are available for $.75 in our Viking Sewing Gallery.
