NOTE: You will learn how to make this awesome embroidery project entirely in the hoop of your embroidery machine! (requires a 5x7 hoop) In addition to the $15 club fee, you must purchase the design pack for this class. To get a special $5 discount on the pack, purchase it the night of our January club meeting for just $14.99. Regular price is $19.99 and well worth it. It includes the instructions and designs for 26 credit card cases with A-Z monogram. It also includes the design for a blank credit card case so you can add the design of your choice to the front. So cool! This was my first in-the-hoop project and it turned out great!
