Learn just how fun and easy it is to create machine embroidery projects with a Janome embroidery machine!   In this class, you'll use our Skyline S9 sewing + embroidery machines to stitch your own summery embroidered bag charms, perfect for elevating your everyday tote.

Students will embroider one coastal theme bag charm in class - you can choose between either of the three designs shown in photo (palm tree/wave, flip flop, or surfboard).  Students will learn how to prepare and hoop fabric, and how to set up the machine, and program the machine for embroidering.  No embroidery machine experience is necessary.

Any student who chooses to purchase any Janome embroidery machine or combo sewing + embroidery machine on the day of the class will be credited back the entire class registration fee.
