Description

CD and download versions include all formats listed, plus a PDF file of suggested colours. As a bonus we've included the USA Birth Month Flower appliqué designs. They can be used in place of the Australian birth month flowers.

The Marigold is the fourth in the Birth Month Flower series of Echidna P.I.E. (P.I.E. stands for Premium Inspiration and Education).

Month 4 (October) is all about 'Sheer Fabrics". In this lesson Lindee will experiment with sheers as a base fabric and also used for appliqué. You'll discover how to stabilizer and tame these fabrics to get professional results.

As the projects for previous months have been rather large and involved, this month Lindee has opted for something quick and small. You'll enjoy making these fun drawstring bags. You can even make them any size, with pretty much any fabric, using any design!

Whether you are a beginner or experienced machine embroiderer, you will discover that Lindee's teaching is very thorough, well-presented, jargon free and easy-to-understand. Your embroidery skills will blossom as will the pleasure of creating beautiful new projects. If you have missed the previous months of Echidna P.I.E you will find them here.
