EmbroiderEASE
It’s a perfect time to make time to master your Husqvarna Viking embroidery machine! You’ve got the software, you’ve got the machinery, you’ve got the best intentions, but you need a little kick to get you going. Well, come on then! EmbroiderEASE is just the class to get you embroidering full steam ahead. Each month, we’ll delve into those embroidery places that have you flummoxed but intrigued, stymied but tenacious, don't spend time spinning—spend more time embroidering! Put all your trepidations to rest during May when we explore the fabulously endlessly creative Endless Hoop. You’ll be intimidated no more once you find out just how easy it is to use. In June, you’ll wonder at how easy it really is to take one image—say, an Indian (just for you, Jeane) – that is enormously larger than our largest hoop, cut it up and put it back together such that you can actually sew it and no one will ever be the wiser. In July we’ll spend lots of time learning how to place, position, finesse and finalize multiple design elements. In July, we’ll delve into embroidered buttonholes, collars and cuffs – those little accents that add up to huge differences – the coveted WOW factor!
