In this fun and creative class, Sharon shares her tried and true raw-edge applique technique, which takes advantage of these wonderful, whimsical touches. With needle and thread in hand, she’ll guide you through creating a number of embroidery stitches, and share simple ways to use them as you find your muse and discover how to add beautiful, unique touches to your hand-made pieces.
