Free Machine Embroidery & Applique

This week as part of Bristol Folk House Summer School I have run 2 free machine embroidery taster workshops. Most people that attended had tried any before and all came away with good control of the machine and lots of ideas and samples.... and the desire to do more!

Speaking of which I will be running longer day sessions and 2 six week courses later in the year, again at the Folk House, contact them for booking and further details 0117 926 2987:
