Library Quilting Club
2. Embroidery
We were lucky to have an embroidery machine. Here is how we used it.
Everyone would get an embroidered block. Most designs that come with the machine use 3-5 thread colors and take about 10 minutes of stitching time. Stitching a frame around it adds 5-10 minutes. We calculated that we will be able to stitch one block for each of 10 quilts. We did it during first 5 classes (2 or 3 at each class).
Here is how it was done:
kid chose the design from the instruction book of the sewing machine.
kid chose threads from the big collection.
kid chose surrounding frame shape.
kid chose frame line style and color.
After this, adult would run the machine: load the hoop, make all selections, and change thread.
It was fun!!!
