Friday 07 August 2020: Online Workshop (Free Motion Embroidery)

Sarah Payne - Friday 07 August 2020 - 6.00pm to 9.00pm (BST)

Online Interactive Workshop: Free Motion Embroidery

A fun-packed CraftyMonkies/Zoom Online Interactive Workshop hosted by Rachel Pierman & featuring the wonderful Sarah Payne who will show you how you can create a fun design using scraps of fabric and your Free Motion Embroidery foot on your sewing machine. Learn how to create your design, transfer it onto fabric and then 'draw' it with your sewing machine. This is a fun experimental class and you will end up with one or more raw edged appliqué and free motion stitched block that you can turn into a cushion or frame. We are going to base our design on the theme of Home and a basic template will be emailed to you before the class starts.

​

Please note that this course is a repeat of two Sarah has run previously in late April and early May 2020, but as you'll see from pictures on the website, Sarah always puts a fresh spin on things!

​
