Applique scissors are a must! You will need to know the basics of your own machine in order to keep up with the pace in this class – this class is not for brand-new beginners.

Also, you can choose either a bunny or a duck design, and let us know what color scheme you would like to use. Class fee: $40 Kit fee: $8 Teacher: Helen Kelly-Coco
