Mona's Monthly Embroidery Techniques | Sacramento

Let our expert educators teach you a new and exciting embroidery technique every month with Mona's Monthly Embroidery Techniques class!

Each month, we will have a new embroidery class aimed at teaching you a different embroidery technique. Take them all, or pick and choose which techniques interest you.

While each project in the series stands independently of the others, taking most of the classes in the series will augment the students' knowledge base to enable them to use their embroidery machines confidently. 

The series will cover stabilizer alternatives, needle selection, design selections, techniques, and machine setting adjustments encountered in various machine embroidery projects on multiple textiles.
