After the demonstration Sarah will assist with the setting up of your machine and provide you with time to practise the technique before starting your project. Sarah will offer plenty of guidance throughout the workshop so that you leave with the confidence to continue and explore the technique further at home.Please bring your machine along with an embroidery foot and, in order to save time, wind your bobbin with a white thread.
