OESD is a company that partners with BERNINA for thread and other sewing and embroidery supplies. They are providing us with ideas for machine embroidery projects, each teaching a special technique. You will need to bring their own USB Jumpdrive or may choose to purchase one from SVQ which will then be loaded with the project design. January ~ Perfectly Aligned Apron: From a simple dishtowel, create this adorable apron in a snap. At the same time, master the art of perfect design alignment. Learn the secrets of creating graceful continuous borders with minimal effort. February ~ Learn how to successfully embroider a knit garment while creating an elegant top. You will embroider on your own t-shirt or other knit top (with round or scoop neck) while learning how to properly stabilize, align and hoop a knit garment. Designs will fit in a 5 x 7' hoop.

This series of classes is more difficult than Software Techniques. Designed by Bernina, we will teach you project based techniques using more than one part of the software. It is fast paced but interesting. It will increase your knowledge of integrating the various parts of the software together to create one project. This is not a sewing class and all the work will be on your laptop with Designer Plus 8.2 loaded. Some familiarity with the software will be useful. A printout of the exact steps to produce the project and a copy of the video will be available to be loaded onto a USB stick, the student's own or one may be purchased at the Bernina desk for $12.99 The first class will be using the Quilter portion of the software. We will be designing a small quilt, applying fabrics, learning how to scan fabrics, inserting an applique and an embroidery design into the quilt. So much to learn but a great way to design your quilts.

Got scraps? We will meet monthly to use those scraps to make beautiful items. This is a sit-and-sew club and every month LeAnn will present an option for using scraps. You are welcome to make that item or work on a project of your own choosing. Students are welcome to suggest uses for scraps and every class will include a show and tell.
