Quilt Labels in Brentwood

In this class, you’ll learn to use the built-in lettering on your Bernina machine to create a fusible, embroidered quilt label with an added embroidery design for a customized look. Artists sign their work and so do quilters. It can tell the Who, What, When, Where, and Why of a quilt. It’s a memorable note to the owner and future owners of the quilt.

Pattern from Bernina Creative Studio is provided. It’s included in your class fee.
