Techniques for Advanced Embroidery Machines
This is a series of Technique classes for the Designer Epic 2, Designer Epic, Designer Brilliance 80 and Designer Sapphire 85 machines. The previous series of techniques classes are now combined into one and we are continuing to do the classes via Zoom. Each month a new topic will be presented. The first half of the class will explain how to do a technique(s) and the second half will discuss the project provided using the technique.
Each class will be recorded so that if you are not available on the particular day and time, you can still participate. You can also purchase the class after the date. If interested in a past class, please send an e-mail to info@sew-jos.ca.
