Course details

Machine embroidery is a technique used by hobbyists and crafters to decorate all sorts of textiles, from quilts and pillows to wall hangings. It’s a fun and relaxing way to make your own unique soft furnishings, and this free taster course is the perfect way to give it a try.

You’ll learn some simple techniques on a sewing machine, maximise the possibilities for self-expression through experimentation and create your own sample to take home with you.

So, if you’ve always fancied making individual crafted items for yourself or your family and friends this is the perfect opportunity to find out how to go about it.

What will I learn?

You will begin to understand more about some of the skills and techniques that you can use and have a go at creating your own ‘sampler’ that you can be proud to take away with you after the session.

How much will it cost?

This course is FREE.
