In this Floriani class, we will be creating an in-the-hoop project that you can stitch out at home. We will learn how to resize the design, to change just part of a color group to one color and the rest to another color, to put a back on it and finish the design into a circle coaster/mug rug. If time allows, we'll do an alternative way to put back on in the hoop.

Cost: $ 30.00
This is a machine embroidery class. You will need to have a machine with at least a 6”x10” hoop. You can finally learn how to quilt that quilt top that has been sitting under the bed.
