October 2023 is making stitched greeting cards, post cards, and stitching on cardstock

OCTOBER SUPPLIES FOR STITCHED CARD DESIGNS AND GIFT TAGS
All Designs will fit into a 5 x 7 inch embroidery stitch field
There will be multiple designs provided in class to make a post card, standard folded card, and a gift tag.
Bring multiple pieces of fabrics for the designs in a solid color to add to your designs.  Each folded card needs 4 pieces of fabric 5 x 7 inches, each postcard needs 2 pieces of fabric 5 x 7 inches, and gift tags need 2 pieces of fabric.
Bring pieces of batting for the cards 5 x 7 inches and 2 pieces of Pellon Peltex stabilizer the same size for each of the cards.
For the gift tags, you may choose to use small pieces of felt for the backing instead of fabric.
Bring an assortment of 40 wt. threads in various colors for the designs and 80 weight threads for your bobbin.
The instructor will provide some cardboard for inserts into the card designs to add stiffness.  The instructor will also provide some cardstock so you can try stitching directly onto the card paper.
Needles to bring are an embroidery needle size 12, or a top stitch needle size 12.
You will choose if you want to stitch the designs provided, insert your own designs, or simply stitch a plain card that you can use if you have already stitched a design and want to use it as your design element.
