Project:
Make a home dec. pillow with corded trim and centered monogram.
Club bonus: Janome Adjustable Zipper Foot Demo

Note: You will learn to use your embroidery machine’s built-in monogram features, design resizing, and perfect placement techniques / tips. You will also learn how to get beautiful results when inserting corded trim into your pillow. Why pay $50 for a custom pillow, when you can do it yourself for a fraction of the cost?
