All About Me! (Machine Embroidery)

For everyone who has an embroidery machine -- any brand!

This is a lecture/demonstration series designed to help you take your machine embroidery to a whole new level. Whether you just got your All About Me!first embroidery machine, or you have been embroidering for a while, this series will provide you with lots of hints, tips and tricks to improve your stitchouts. Each month we will show new projects, and you will have a chance to see and possibly try the techniques shown in the class. You will also receive a CD to take home with all the information covered in the class. You don’t need to bring anything to class, except your smile and maybe a notepad.

If you don’t have an embroidery machine, but you’re interested about how they work and what you can do with one, you are welcome in this class, too. If you decide you just can’t live without an embroidery machine, your $10 class fee will be applied to your purchase. Here are the dates and topics for this term. Note - No Class In July

Instructor: Paramount Staff
Fee: $10 / class

Embroidery on a Garment
Date: Saturday ~ August 27, 10 am – 1 pm
Ever wonder when you should embroider a fabric -- before or after cutting it out? We will explore this topic as well as where the appropriate places for embroidery might be. And “just in case” we will also explore how to remove embroidery from a garment that didn’t quite work out. This class with also explore the stabilizers that are appropriate for garment embroidery, whether it is your own creation or purchased.

To A Tee
Date: Saturday ~ September 24, 10 am – 1 pm
Knit fabric can be just a bit tricky to embroider, but we will give you tips and hints about how to embroider on stretchy fabric. You will find out what type of designs work best on knits, t-shirts, and sweatshirts; and how to stabilize them effectively. We will have a fun project using a t-shirt or sweatshirt and embellishing it to create a unique item.

Camp Shirt

Camp Shirt

Nothing says summer like a fun camp shirt. Using a Kwik-Sew pattern, Millie will guide you through the construction process while giving you tips on seaming, pressing, interfacing, topstitching and buttonholes.

Basic sewing and machine skills are all that’s required.
