Please note our East Hanover classroom is on the second floor and is only accessible via stairs.
Learn how to use your Brother embroidery machine. We will discuss the following:
threading your machine, winding bobbins, attaching the embroidery foot, arm, and hoop,
loading and editing designs (rotating, scaling, positioning, & mirroring), adding
monograms and text (sizing & positioning text), and embroidery machine functions such
as embroidery sewing speed and color stepping. We will also go over how to update
your machine with the latest firmware. Please remember to bring your manual.
This is different from the “Intro to Embroidery Class”, which explains hooping,
stabilizers, threads, theory, techniques, etc. This class covers how to operate
your Brother machine embroidery features, such as adding designs, scaling,
moving, rotating, color stepping, etc.
This class is for Brother embroidery machines ONLY.
Preferred Hoop size: 4" x 4" or larger.
