This class is perfect for students who have some experience with embroidery. Don’t worry if you’re rusty! We’ll review basic stitches and best-result techniques before we start sewing. If you are an experienced embroiderer and don’t need the review, please come anyway – you’re welcome to start the project on your own and we’d love to have your company. A great follow up to the Beginning Embroidery class! 4 hours $30 per person Min 5 people Max 8 people
