Free Motion Machine Embroidery Workshop from Sew Karen-ly Created...

There are a couple of spots open in my "Back To Spool" workshop on August 4 here in Amherst, N.S., as part of the Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival.

It will be a day of free motion stitching to create free-hand machine embroidered appliqués which can be used in your projects. (All you need is a regular sewing machine, NOT an embroidery machine.)

More information available here: https://sewkaren-lycreated.blogspot.com/2022/05/back-to-spool-workshop.html  To register, please email.
