Classes and Workshops

Thanks for your interest in bringing me in to teach a class or workshop for your guild, shop or group! 

I have several workshop offerings that will give participants a deep dive into methods and techniques of various sewing and embroidery projects.  I love guiding both new and experienced machine embroiderers through the process of creating beautiful things with their embroidery machines.  The magic of seeing those AHA moments never gets old to me.  My lectures are full of humor and honesty to facilitate rapport between instructor and student, and I do not believe in gatekeeping any embroidery secrets. I believe you can embroidery absolutely anything if you can hold it still long enough to poke a needle through it! Let's learn how to #embroiderALLthethings together!
