Hey Maker,

Special Guest is Joan Wren who will teach us everything there is to know about stabilizers.

In addition, we will do our In The Hoop Project and our Embossed Towel Project.

For those of you who don’t want to bring your machines, you can still register ~~and come hear Joan’s presentation~~ and watch as the other projects are created.

Cost $10 each ** ~~Minimum 10 people~~
