You’ll learn how to thread the machine, hoop your fabric properly, and get to grips with stabilisers (what they are and why they matter!). We’ll also give you a simple intro to the digitising process and show you how to use the machine’s built-in text feature to create your first design. No experience needed – just bring your curiosity!
