In this class you will learn how to use your domestic sewing machine to create a Christmas tree, using free motion. You can decorate it with stars and rhinestones. We may even get to binding. This is a fun and quick project. You can use this technique to make lots of other things.
This class will be held after the November 5th meeting at 3047 Garden Valley Rd.
Stars, 3/4" to 1 1/4”, and rhinestones will be provided by Shirley for everyone. (To make your own stars: star material and fusible web. Cut them out and bring to class or you can do it later.)
