Give your heirloom projects a French, hand-sewn look, all with the ease of your machine. Susan Stewart returns to follow up her popular class on heirloom essentials with even more techniques for appliqué, custom fabric-covered piping, French seams and more. If youd love to create pieces that will be handed down for generations, this class is the perfect place to start.
