Beginners Freemotion Embroidery and Applique Christmas Cards
November 25 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
This creative workshop is a great way to learn the art of freemotion embroidery whilst producing some lovely little Christmas cards to take home.
The class is aimed at beginners but is also good for those who have had a go before and wish to have a quick refresh of the techniques, with the added opportunity to create some really cute little cards.
The day is split into two parts: during the morning we will look at the basics of freemotion and applique through a number of practice exercises, then in the afternoon we take those newly acquired skills and show how you can build on them in a really simple way to create some lovely finished products.
This workshop is taught by Caroline Michelle Morgan who is a Textile artist specialising in freemotion embroidery.
Blank cards and envelopes will be supplied, but you will need to bring the following materials and equipment with you; everything apart from the sewing machine feet can be purchased in the shop if needed:
– Sewing Machine, please bring your extra wide table for your machine if you have one (helpful but not essential), also don’t forget your foot pedal and cable.

– A selection of different coloured felts for the practice exercises and for using as backing on the applique decorations
