Get comfy (yes, pajamas are totally acceptable) and join us online for an SMP virtual event you won’t want to miss! We’ll be going live through an easy-to-use online platform—no downloads, no tech headaches. We’ll send you a special link before the event. All you’ll need to do is click, watch, and enjoy. Think of it as front-row access without having to leave your sewing room. Stay tuned—we’ll send more info soon. We can’t wait to “see” you there (even if it's just virtually)!
If you are just starting out or want to brush up on your technique, this is the perfect place to start. Learn about best practices for embroidery including: threads, needles, stabilizers, proper hooping methods, registration, troubleshooting common embroidery issues, setting up your workspace, storing embroidery files correctly on your computer, digitizing principles, embroidery stitch types, adding and editing designs on your machine, applique techniques, floating fabrics, and ITH (in-the-hoop) projects.
We will create 4 projects: napkin, applique tote bag, ITH key fob, and ITH coaster. Each project focuses on a different technique such as “normal” vs. ITH embroidery (sewing on a finished item – napkin & bag vs. ith coaster and key fob), hooping vs. floating fabrics (bag vs. key fob), and adding text to a file vs. not adding anything.
Preferred Hoop size 5”x7” (4”x 4” is allowed; some projects will be made differently).
Her background includes computer animation, graphic design, and American history. She’s had the pleasure of working at the Walt Disney Company and on projects for The History Channel. Mary began embroidering in 2019, when she entered a Haunted Mansion jacket with 50 patches in Disney’s D23 Design Challenge and placed third. Since then, she continues to perfect the craft of patch making, designing ITH patterns, and digitizing, while teaching in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and on-line. Her embroidered goods can be found throughout shops in New Jersey.
Mary lives & works by the motto “Making the past, present.” To see her latest creations, please visit: www.StarSpangledHeart.com.
