 Babylock Two day workshop with sewing  industry experts Pam Mahshie and Missy Billingsly

 Blaine’s is pleased to welcome Pam and Missy back to RI for a two day sewing and serging workshop.

Would you believe this entire project is done in the hoop?? Yes that’s right from piecing to assembly and even the zipper is stitched in the hoop! The Wristlet project is digitized by the master Missy Billingsley of Missy B Stitchin then enhanced using the great Baby Lock Destiny features. Learn to create stippling, applique and the best positioning techniques around. Pam Mahshie will lead you on this adventure and share with you her many embroidery tips and tricks as well.

 How many times do you sit down at your sewing machine or serger and realize you don’t have the proper tools you need right in front of you? Missy has just the answer for you…a Machine caddy that will fit under your machine with pockets to hold all of the tools right at your finger-tips. You will make the caddy using the Baby Lock Ovation so you are sure to learn many serger techniques along with using specialty presser feet and attachments

Blaines and Babylock will provide machines for your use only during the event-no sharing! Due to this great one-to-one hands on opportunity, space will be very limited!

Don’t miss your opportunity to learn from two of the industry’s best educators.

This two day workshop will be held October 7^th & 8^th at the Hilton Garden Inn, Jefferson Blvd, Warwick, RI.

Event fee includes the use of a Destiny II sewing machine and an Ovation serger, all fabrics and supplies needed to create the projects, morning and afternoon snacks, lunch, raffles and more!
