Decorative Stitch Sampler Bag Class for Husqvarna Machines With Dianne Fussell
Ever wished you had all your lovely decorative stitches sewn out so you could see how great they all look. Now is your chance to stitch them all out in a range of variegated, metallic, rayon’s and cottons. Bring along all those wonderful threads you have collected over the years and see how lovely your stitches look stitched out over colorful strip piecing fabric. We are then going to turn this into a lovely sparkly bag which will be useful to take to classes filled with scissors, small rulers, marking pens, unpickers, needles, etc it’s amazing what will fit into it.
