About the Class
Learn to create small and large pieces with this interesting and effective method. Woven fabrics the easy way. Learn to create with the circular attachment. You will appliqué with the decorative stitches your sewing machine has. In this 6 hours class I will discuss different stabilizers and show you the easy way to build the circle blocks. Learn the many different possibilities the circle offers. This is a surprisingly fast, fun, and easy project with lots of wow-effects.
