Embroidery Club Projects

Bernina Northwest's Embroidery Club for March will be held as follows:

  • Saturday, March 8th at 1:00 PM
  • Monday, March 10th at 1:00 PM

For the March Embroidery Club we will be making a Hoop Holder to organize your hoops and templates. Here’s a great way to store them so always know where they are. Each pocket holds a different hoop and its template. You can hang this organizer on the wall of the door in your sewing room. We will be using the design created in the March Software Club. If you don't have the Bernina Embroidery Software, I will have a design for you also.

Please bring the following supplies:

  • 1 1/4 yards of pre-quilted (quilt your own if desired), double sided fabric cut into the following pieces:

This Embroidery Club will be a lot fun. Please bring your Show 'n Tell embroidery projects (or any project you are working on or finished) -- we would love to see what you've been making. There will be a small charge for all of the Bernina Northwest clubs of $5.00 per club or you can purchase a "Ticket to Ride" for $55.00 for any 12 clubs of your choice, a $5.00 savings with no expiration date -- a very good value!

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the March Embroidery Club meeting and hope you can come join in the fun.
