You may have noticed a little
different look to this month's newsletter or that it is being delivered by a different mail service. We have upgraded our email delivery service as we attempt to be able to
reach everyone who has signed up for our newsletter. Previously, you were required to click a link to view images as we were attempting to be certain emails were not being blocked due to including images. This new service will
allow us to include images so it won't require you to click a link to view all images. We would love to have your feedback so please
let us know if you experience any difficulty.
When you do see underlined links in
orange, know that more information will appear when the link is clicked.

You, Too, Can Be A Jean-ious!

Note From Anne
-
I recently had a great talk with Marsha Kirsch who is going to be leading our Jean-ious class and she is very excited to share all of the Designer Epic techniques with you. We know you will be amazed and fall in love with this fabulous machine.
The only things you need to bring to this all-day event are a recycled pair of
Mens jeans (at least a size 36), a pair of scissors and some pins. We will provide all of the threads, embellishments and feet for the machine. Everyone will be
at their own Epic, no sharing machines, so we are limiting this to 12 participants.
- Cost - $35 and it includes lunch!
- Date - September 19, 2017
- Time - 9:30 am to 4:30 pm
- Register - 605-355-0178

You will also receive a USB stick with all 5 projects loaded on it. You will not finish them in class, but will have all of the directions to finish at home. Marsha tells me that if you make all 5 projects, all you will have left of the jeans is the waistband!
Please
sign up soon as class size is limited and we have send in the order for the Epics to be delivered.
