🧵 Embroidery 101 – Getting Started with Machine Embroidery 🧵

Embroidery 101 – Getting Started with Machine Embroidery

Curious about how to use our embroidery machine? This relaxed, hands-on session is perfect for beginners. 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 introduction explaining 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!

Please note: the prices below are just guidelines. Final costs will be based on your specific project.
