Digitize and Embroider Appliqué using the Brother Scan 'n Cut
In this class, you will complete one appliqué block using your Brother Scan 'n Cut, Embrilliance software and embroidery machine. The block is completely done by machine, and the results are precise and impressive!
The block is "inspired by" Lori Holt's Granny's Garden - a free pattern from Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet Co. If you want to complete the entire quilt, you will need to purchase her Sew Simple Shapes (not needed for the class).
In order to have a successful class experience, it's important to have at least a working knowledge of your Scan 'n Cut, Embrilliance software and your embroidery machine. The class will not teach basic applications on any of these platforms.
AAQG member Stacey Napier will teach the class. Stacey has been quilting for the last 15 years and started venturing into using various sewing technology tools to assist in her block making.
