Learn How to Quilt with Your Embroidery Machine
Embroidery machines aren't just for stitching out beautiful embroidery designs anymore! In this class, you will piece a 4-block table topper using features builtin into your embroidery machine and accessory feet. Then, you'll use your embroidery machine to quilt the table topper.
We will practice using edge-to-edge quilting designs, fills in irregular shapes, built-in fills to create motifs, border functions, and designs to quilt the border and finish the binding.
All of this will be done with your embroidery machine!
