Software Club - Nov 2021 recording

Christmas is just around the corner and that means gifts.  In this class we are going to make gift bags in the hoop. The bags can of course be stitched out with just pretty Christmas fabric, or they can be embellished with a Christmas theme.  First we will create a wine bottle size blank with a channel to hold ribbon to close the bag. This bag we will embellish by creating a whimsical Christmas tree with appliquéd triangles decorated with stitching.  Then we will create a larger blank with buttonholes using the Encore feature to thread ribbon through for a closing and finish the seams, all in the hoop. We will embellish the bag with snowflakes – some are SuperDesigns that come with our software, others we will create by encoring other SuperDesigns.
