This class was developed for brand-new beginners and includes multiple techniques in one easy design. More advanced students can follow along and pick up some tips to improve the stitch quality of any design.

We will cover these topics:

1. Embroidery threads and stabilizers
2. Tips for properly threading your machine and bobbin
3. Traditional Hooping vs. Floating
4. Transferring designs to your embroidery machine
5. Embroidery machine applique and ITH (in-the-hoop) techniques
