Please read our Class Policies before you enroll for your class.

Please enroll for your class by calling the store at least two days  prior to class day so that our instructors can have enough kits, handouts or other class materials for you. There may be some preparation work required before class day—if this is the case it will be noted on the class supply list, so please be sure you enroll in class enough in advance that you can complete the prep work!

We add new classes frequently. Don't see what you want? Get a couple of your friends together and ask us about creating a class just for you!

Embroidery Club—May 2025

Thursday, May 15, 2025           from 10am to 12pm                                Class Fee: $35
                                                                                                                             Instructor: Debi Urban                                                                        

May's project is an embroidered mesh beach tote bag. If you've been wanting to learn how to embroider on fabrics that aren't quite a "stable" surface, this class teaches you how to choose a foundation to embroider on and place on the item all at the same time. 

Class fee includes project materials for one tote bag, the embroidery design and use of our embroidery threads in class. If you would like to duplicate the thread colors exactly as they are on the store sample, please ask us to email you a copy of the thread chart so that you may bring your own thread to class.

This beginner level, in person, hands on class is perfect for those who have taken the owner's / guide classes (Quick Start Embroidery 1 and Quick Start Embroidery 2) and are ready to go onto the next step in learning how to use the embroidery features of their machines to create beautiful, personalized embroidered projects. Bring your machine, embroidery module, hoops and accessories to class and we'll help you complete this project!
 
Kit fee is included in class fee. Advance registration is required—call and register today!

Extra kits (if there are any left after class) will be available for purchase after class. You may purchase the kit only if you do not wish to come to class, but it does not include the embroidery design.

This two session class is one of the most popular bag classes we've offered!  The Tool Tote is the perfect bag for anyone who creates—artists, crafters, quilters and sewists all love it, and it's one that you're guaranteed to use all the time!  

With pockets all the way around both the inside and outside of the bag, this tote also offers generous space in the middle on the inside for larger items. Sturdy metal wire stays that get covered and hidden when sewn into the bag will keep the bag's top open for easy access while you're working with all of your tools. A zippered top closes everything up for safe transport, and the handles allow for easy carrying of your tool tote.

Pattern and project materials are not included in the class fee. Please see supply list for project materials.
