Multi-hooping Embroidery Retreat with Brenda Jeschke


Have an embroidery machine and love to make quilts?  Let's combine the two loves of our lives.  At this retreat you will learn six different multi-hooping techniques while also learning to machine embroidery applique.  You will have the capability to make either the bed runner, the lap size quilt, or the bed size quilt after you have learned these hooping techniques.  You will learn how to use your re-positioning tools in your machine and the plastic grid that comes with your embroidery hoops.  You are required to purchase the Feels Like Spring embroidery designs/pattern from Quilt Mercantile.This retreat does not pertain to brand specific “how do I use my software” classes.
