We are busy busy busy with our classes this month, and April 22nd has a day full of fun for all! Along with the April Bernina Software Inspirations monthly class, this month, our monthly In the Hoop project falls on the 4th Saturday of the month right after, running from 12:15pm – 3pm.

This time, our project is just as practical as it is pretty! We all know in this technological age, cords get crossed, tangled, and tiresome. If you want a way to keep your electronic cords more organized, join us at Quilt Quarters to make your very own CORD KEEPER! Functional and cute, this project is sew much fun to make!
This project gives you an opportunity to bring your embroidery machine and mingle with other embroiderers as we focus on learning how to do an In the Hoop project. The cord keeper will be created with a vinyl material completely stitched and finished in the embroidery hoop.
The kit for these designs is included with this class's ticket, which is $25, and includes all of the vinyl and stabilizers needed to complete the designs. However, because this project is so customizable, you'll be in charge of bringing your embroidery machine, module, the below mentioned supplies, and a large hoop for the machine (although a Bernina Medium hoop will work as well for one design) to join us for a fun, instructional day with new and old friends alike!
Miscellaneous Supplies
In regard to needles, we ask that you have a new(er), sharp 75/11 embroidery needle in your machine and 2 bobbins filled with white bobbin fill.
Other items you'll need will be a small pair of thread snips or curved scissors, a pair of regular scissors for cutting, and tweezers - which aren't required but might be helpful!
Embroidery Thread Colors
For the plaid keeper, you'll need:
- Red
- Yellow
- Light blue
- Ocean/medium blue
- Slate/dark blue
Any color combination of embroidery thread that might make a nice plaid palette could be used, though, so let your creativity run wild!
For the second keeper, you'll need:
If you choose red vinyl, then white is a nice, complementary embroidery thread color.
If you would rather have white vinyl, then any thread color will work since it only uses one color! Just be sure to bring an extra bobbin so that it can be filled with the final color of the designs.
